This bread is made for Biona by a family-owned bakery in Muensterland, Germany. Established in 1927, the bakery uses traditional artisan skills-freshly grinding the grains just before baking to create loaves packed with the wholegrain goodness needed as part of a healthy diet.
The dense, slightly sour crumb holds up way better than supermarket rye, and it actually keeps me full until lunch. I like that the grains are ground fresh right before baking — you can tell from the texture it's not sitting around for weeks.
You can really taste the difference with grains ground fresh right before baking—the crumb has that hearty, just-milled sweetness. I’ve been slicing and freezing a loaf at a time, and it toasts up beautifully without drying out. This is my new staple for weekday sandwiches.
The crust crackles just right when I slice it, and you can taste the freshly ground grains in every bite—it's got that dense, nutty chew that store-bought loaves never manage. I've already gone through two of the five loaves in a week, toasting them for breakfast and they hold up beautifully.
