Mestemacher Whole Grain Bread (Pumpernickel, 17.6 oz, pack of 2)

I have looked for all-rye bead forever in local stores in US. I finally thought of trying Amazon and here it is! I am so excited to find food that does not trigger my gluten allergy and also is delicious. Even the "gluten free" breads I can buy here sometimes trigger my allergy, due to over-processing and added mystery ingredients, and they all taste like cardboard. Not this wonderful bread, which is both delicious and healthy! I read one review saying it was not good for sandwiches. Good grief, then just go buy the junk on the shelves (sorry). Each loaf has 7 thin, dense slices that work just fine for open sandwiches and such. I have eaten it plain, toasted with butter, with scrambled eggs, mashed avacados, and plan to try toasted with sardines, cream cheese with smoked salmon, etc. Another good thing is that is so nutritious and dense that it fills you up quickly. It keeps well in the fridge in an air-tight container, thus I I plan to get six loaves the next time...I would put it on auto-ship but don't trust Amazon not to throw it in a big box with other things, based on my past experience, but enough of that. If you are looking for healthy, flavorful bread that keeps well, this is it! If you have gluten allergies, try the two loaves and test. I hope you love it as much as I do. This makes me want to move to Germany. Yes, it's that good. Guten tag!

This pumpernickel bread is so good and very healthy. Perfect with cream cheese or apple syrup spread. Moist with so much flavor we will be buying more.

This was the worst pumpernickel bread I have ever had. IT smells so nasty. No one in the home will eat it. Cannot make a sandwich with it falling apart. It just crumbles as you take it out of the bag. I've had some amazing pumpernickel from authentic bakeries. This was not edible. And they will not refund.

The bread is very good. Thank you. My husband is German born, 1940 and we also owned a German Bread Bakery in Fort Lauderdale 1984-2017 and used to make our own Rye Black Bread and so many others. We are so happy to find the same wholegrain quality and that it is organic...

May contain traces of soy and tree nuts.These are dense, crumbly breads. Best to toast in a toaster oven. Cut long slices in half first for sandwiches, or into four strips for canapé style open sandwiches. The rye had real old-fashioned sour-rye taste, which I enjoy and would order again. I didn’t care for the other two.

Great protein bread. Tasty and filling.

I've enjoyed this bread form Amazon and elsewhere.Having nothing to do with my rating, but hopefully useful for other customers:This is not the bread that most people in the US is are used to. It is VERY dense and a very different consistency, VERY whole grain (rough), so may not be what many like. Slices are VERY thin.This also make it more likely to crumble, sometimes get moldy too, in shipping.This is a high sodium and salt bread, so if you are on a salt restricted diet, not for you.My own review, rating related:I grew up on high and whole grains, so used to UN-American rough textured foods like this. While I am not on any salt restricted diet, I find the salt too high for my taste. One of the reasons we use less.At times, crumbling during shipping, and some mold, can be a problem. Also, the price has increased since my last order, now more expensive than other sellers including my local health food grocer, has made me cut the amount on my next scheduled Subscribe and Save order by more than half (60%)...I may just cancel it and get it locally.Hope you find this useful!

This is real pumpernickel. Reading some of the other reviews it seems like they were expecting the versions sold in most grocery store. This however is traditional pumpernickel made with only Rye, yeast, salt and malt then baked for more than 10 hours. It does not have wheat flour in it so the texture is completely different from other breads. This version is excellent and has the deep dark taste with a bite one would expect. My loffs were fresh, soft and moist, perfect
