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

We called it "German black bread" in my family, and I came to love it as a child. Now that I need more fiber in my diet, its 9 grams per slice offer an easy way to satisfy a big chunk of that requirement while making me a bit nostalgic about my German father and days long gone by. Lightly toasted with fiber-rich hummus makes it somehow more delicious. I have subscribed, so no gaps in supply . . . yet.

Good price for a beloved specialty product - dense delicious whole grain, "real" pumpernickel bread - Heavy! that's hard to find locally. Delivered quickly and fresh.

I wanted to contact the seller directly but Amazon does not provide an option so I’m writing the review instead and hopefully the seller sees this. There is something wrong with this product. My husband and I both had a bad reaction to this bread. We both had gastrointestinal issues; stomach pain, bloat, vomiting and diarrhea. We know it’s the bread because it’s the only new thing in our diet and we have not eaten outside the house in 2 weeks. The expiration date is still valid 8/8/25. It tasted good. I’m not sure if the problem is how they store it in the warehouse. I’m in AZ and I know those warehouses get very hot and no A/C.Unfortunately I bought a 6 pack.

Very good Pumpernickle

The 6-pack price is pretty good. 7-month shelf life from the time mine arrived. I go through one pack every two weeks. But, it looks like there are a lot of bad reviews from people who aren’t familiar with this stuff. Some insights:1) Every bad review about it being “crumbly” is because they didn’t toast it. I can’t imagine eating this not toasted. Toast it on the highest setting. It takes a while to toast this bread. I do one cycle on the longest setting, plus a little more after that.2) It’s called “bread” and technically it’s made with bread ingredients, but don’t expect bread like you get in a bakery or store.3) As soon as you open it, it needs to be sealed in a ziplock bag and put in the refrigerator. It’ll mold very quickly otherwise. Super long shelf life if unopened. Not once it’s opened. As mentioned above, it’ll last a couple weeks in the fridge in a ziplock bag.4) I love mayonnaise, on like everything, but for some reason vegenase tastes sooooo much better on this bread. The only reason I own vegenase is for this bread. It’s like a mellow aioli, and just compliments this bread fantastically.5) imo, this bread makes the best avocado toast there is.

Healthy, tastes good for no sugar. Only wish the level of sodium and the price would drop lower. Dark grain , soft but firm slices enjoyable to eat.

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!
