Brioche of the month at Bar Bauma: Catalan tradition with the usual touch - Somos Esencia

In Barcelona, there are bars that form part of the city's emotional landscape. Bars where time passes more slowly, where coffee smokes in the bar, where conversations cross the room without haste. Bauma Bar is one of those places: a lifelong Catalan bar, with the soul of a neighborhood, which has been able to preserve its essence while incorporating ideas that surprise those who sit down for the first time.

Among these ideas, one of the most celebrated is the Brioche of the month: a unique creation, different every month, that mixes tradition, seasonal products, and that touch of creativity that makes Bauma Bauma. Each brioche is a nod to Catalan cuisine, reinterpreted with love and without losing the simplicity that characterizes authentic bars.

October: “Flavors of home”, a brioche that speaks the language of autumn

‍

Fall arrived at Bauma with a brioche that tasted like mothers, grandmothers, mountain hikes, and slow cooking Sundays. The October brioche could be called "Flavors of Home," because there couldn't be a more accurate name.

A tender, buttery bread that embraced a Sausage de Perol, that sausage so ours, so typical of the village, accompanied by seasonal mushrooms, cooked to perfection, with that humid forest scent that marks the beginning of the cold. The Ceps mayonnaise rounded off the set with a delightful depth, the kind that makes you close your eyes a second longer than necessary.

It was a brioche that needed no introduction. It was enough to take a bite to feel at home.

November: old clothes, chestnuts, and crispy pork

November arrived with a brioche that vindicated gourmet cuisine, that of a lifetime, which in Catalonia has always been able to turn leftovers into treasures.

‍

The Old Clothing Brioche was a direct blow to nostalgia: tender and discarded meat, cooked with patience, mixed with a chestnut mayonnaise that was reminiscent of a fireplace, of a forest, of wet streets at dusk. To top it off, a crunchy pork that made each bite a perfect mix between tradition, gluttony, and charisma.

A powerful, delicious, very Bauma brioche: a modernized classic without losing a shred of its original soul.

December: The next chapter is about to arrive

And now, December.
The month of lights, of the cold that calls for hot dishes, of walks around Barcelona with scarves and hands in pockets. The month when everyone asks:

"And what will this month's brioche be?"

At Bauma, the answer always comes as a surprise. We know that it will be a seasonal brioche, with ingredients that speak of winter, perhaps with a hint of Christmas, perhaps with a touch of grill or always with local produce... but what we do know is that it will arrive with personality.

And it will arrive with that Bauma mix: the classic and the new sitting at the same table.

If you want to discover it before anyone else, just follow Bar Bauma on Instagram, where every month the brioche is presented as it deserves: with video, with flavor, and with the desire for you to try it.

The brioches of the month are not a fad or a gastronomic whim. They are a way to keep alive the essence of a neighborhood bar, one where lifelong locals mix with visitors who discover it for the first time. Each brioche is a bridge between Catalan tradition and current creativity, between tender bread and familiar flavors, between the Bauma that was and the Bauma that is.

If you don't know them yet, now is the best time to start.
If you already follow them, you know that it doesn't fail.
