Biona Organic Pumpernickel Bread 500g

Organic Pumpernickel Bread

Biona Organic Pumpernickel Bread 500g is a dense, dark rye bread with a distinctive earthy flavour and satisfyingly hearty texture. Made in the traditional pumpernickel style, it offers a completely different eating experience from a light wheat loaf, with thin slices that are substantial enough to carry everything from smoked fish and mature cheese to avocado and savoury spreads.

The rich rye character works particularly well with strong, salty and pickled flavours. Serve it simply with butter, use it for Scandinavian-inspired open sandwiches, or lightly toast a slice for breakfast. Its compact texture also makes pumpernickel bread a brilliant base for canapés, as it can be cut neatly into smaller portions and topped without falling apart.

What makes pumpernickel bread so dark?

Traditional pumpernickel gets its characteristic dark colour from rye and its baking process rather than simply being a darker version of standard wheat bread. Recipes and production methods vary, but rye gives the loaf its recognisable colour, flavour and dense structure.

Where does pumpernickel bread originate?

Pumpernickel is traditionally associated with the Westphalia region of Germany. Traditional German versions are made predominantly with rye and have a dense, compact texture quite different from many conventional sliced breads.

Why is pumpernickel commonly used for open sandwiches?

Its dense structure provides a sturdy base for toppings and can be sliced relatively thinly while still holding its shape. This makes it particularly well suited to open sandwiches topped with ingredients such as smoked fish, cheese, cured meats, pickles and spreads.
