Geographical Indication Mestemacher Black Rye Whole Grain Bread 500g
The striking features of Geographically Indicated Westfälischer Pumpernickel Bread, unique to Germany, is that it is made entirely of rye and is therefore different from most other types of bread and is baked for at least 16 hours in sealed baking dishes in a steam-filled oven or a rack oven. Westfälischer Pumpernickel bread is crustless black or very dark whole wheat bread made from rye flour. The grain structure of the rye grain can be clearly seen in the crumbs. Bread has a very specific sweet-bitter taste. May contain at least 90% coarse ground rye flour or wholemeal rye grain or a mixture of both, water, salt, yeast and optional other grain-based ingredients (such as malt) or sugar beet. No preservatives can be added.There are many different types of bread in Germany, including black bread. However, only 'Westfälischer Pumpernickel' is cooked for a very long time, typically 16 hours. No other bread has such a long baking time. The cooking temperature activates the enzymes in the grain. This unique process gives the bread its typical bittersweet flavor and dark brown, almost black crumb. This typical taste, which is both slightly sweet, sometimes slightly acidic, slightly sharp, and slightly aromatic, is particularly characteristic of this property. It has a very long shelf life. It can be stored in tin cans for several months or in the refrigerator (in the freezer section) for up to two years.Origin: GermanySee All

Product Story
The product has a distinctive appearance, which is associated with its origin. As a result of the long tradition of production dating back to 1570, the special skills of the local producers also contribute to the high respect for the product. Westphalia is produced in northern Germany, with the exception of the southern part of Westphalia, which, together with Sauerland, is part of the central highlands of Germany. Due to the prevailing maritime climate influenced by the North Sea (abundant precipitation with rainy days, not too hot summers, rather mild winters), rye is a traditionally grown crop in this region. The cooking properties of rye are different from wheat.
Typical shapes are rectangular or round. The fact that Westfälischer Pumpernickel is pure rye bread sets it apart from many other types of bread. Therefore, its properties are different from many other types of bread. This is because the level of pentosan in rye dough (6% to 8% in rye as opposed to 2% to 3% in wheat) means that gluten cannot form a sticky gluten skeleton. Thus, rye dough contains less gas than wheat dough. This means that rye bread is heavier than wheat bread and has a denser crumb. Due to these often undesirable special baking properties of rye, wheat and rye blended breads are commonly produced, while pure rye bread is rare.
