Germans love hearty, dark, nutritious bread that's high in protein. In fact, in Germany there are more than 300 varieties of bread. German breads are made from top quality whole grain rye flour and are baked slowly in steam-heated ovens; a long process that brings out the bread's distinctive darker color, nutty taste and moist, firm texture. The baking process is based on century- old baking methods, yet uses high tech equipment to ensure consistent high quality. Thinly sliced and ready to eat, we offer three varieties of rye: Sunflower Seed, Linseed, and Whole Grain.

Comments about German Rye Breads:

This bread is very good with cheese or cold cuts. In other words, it is very good the way Germans eat it (for Abendbrot).

Comments about German Rye Breads:

Of things I've purchased at igourmet, this is the only item with which I was very disappointed and even embarassed since I sent it as a gift to an elderly aunt. Being a German family, I sent a gift of limburger and rye ... the cheese was excellent, the rye was good enough for the trash basket!

Comments about German Rye Breads:

I ordered a different brand German bread before which was excellent. This one was flavorful but the slices broke into pieces very easily which made it tough to use as an open-faced sandwich.
Maybe it was packaged too fresh.
