Rye bread is a type of bread made with various proportions of flour from rye grain. Bread can be light or dark in color, depending on the type and combinations of flour used, and is typically denser than bread made from wheat flour. Our Rye bread is much a higher in fiber content than white bread and is much stronger in flavor.

With just a hint of sour taste that is slightly similar to sourdough, Our Dark Rye has a deep earthy flavor with flat and chewy texture. Due to its unique flavor, it pairs well with a large variety of foods.

Eat a slice of Rye with cream cheese and smoked salmon as a classic combination. If you crave sweet and salty flavors, go for a spread of raspberry jam and top with goat cheese and some chives.

Rye bread can be served as breakfast, brunch, or lunch as well. Wholesome flavor combinations include egg and spinach, smoked mackerel and red onion, or pear, cinnamon and toasted nuts with salted butter. The bitter and sour flavor of this bread allows for a variety of options because it blends with almost anything, including cheeses.
