Mestemacher All Natural Whole Rye Bread, 17.6 Oz – Authentic German Whole Grain Rye Bread, High Fiber, Non-GMO, Ready to Eat, Long Shelf Life (Pack of 6)

I buy this bread because I have a wheat intolerance. I have tried most of the different kinds. They are all good. I buy just the rye recipes. I only use them of toast or maybe to spread with peanut butter or quacamole. I really like the flavor of of all of them. They actually are better priced than gluten free breads and healthier for you. This is a dense bread more on the drier side. I always keep it wrapped and in the fridge. I have never found mold on it and have been using this for about a year now. There are seven slices in each pack and I cut them in half to make my toast, one slice is to long for the toaster. I slice = one serving.

Best bread in the world. Delicious, whole grain, organic. You can’t go wrong with this bread. I order it by the six pack so I always have it. I freeze what I don’t immediately use.

My girlfriend is German and when I went over there I was surprised that one of their favorite appreciative terms is "super". We don't use that back here in the United States very often but over in Germany it's a very common expression. Anyway, that's my opinion of this bread, It's super. I heed it in the microwave and put a little salt and olive oil on it and I love it just like that though I also warm it and have peanut butter and jam on it and use it for bread in general. It's whole grain and the nice thing about it is that when you run out of a regular bread it lasts forever especially in the refrigerator where I keep it and it's just a great backup I thought, but now, truly, I prefer it to almost any other bread it's just so scrumptious anyway yeah I'll stop raving about it but it's good stuff and very nutritious.

I am doing a low carb diet and this is one of the only breads that is pure rye and has no sugar at all. It has 26 g of carbohydrate so i don't eat it every day. However, it is easy to figure it into my carb allotment and enjoy it with cream cheese, smoked salmon and other things. Excellent.

I always purchase more when i ran out. I am glad its available in here because not all stores carry it. Its always fast delivery, nicely sealed and fresh. Great buy as always.

Flavor: I happen to like the savory, faintly vinegary sourdough rye flavor, tho it may not be to everyone's taste. Texture: Dense, coarse, somewhat crumbly, especially round the edges, because of the whole rye grains included. Size: A slice is approximately 6 5/8 x 3 3/4 x 3/8. inches. Each packet contains 7 slices. This is the third time I've ordered 6 packets at once. They arrived near the end of July 2018 with expiration dates of June 6, 2019. I've easily made 6 packets last 6 months or more because I'm restricting carbs in my diet, but want to have some bread on hand when I get a craving for some. This is more nutritious than bread made with white flour, has more fiber and doesn't go moldy, which makes it suitable for having only the occasional slice. I like it spread with hummus or guacamole or as an open-faced sandwich with something like egg salad or tuna-mayo-capers or mayo-cucumber slices, or Dusseldorf mustard and sharp cheddar cheese melted in the microwave. I generally slice the bread crosswise into 4 fingers after topping it with something, to minimize the likelihood that it might break while I'm eating it -- it's just easier to eat that way because the slices are so large. As recommended, I put the remaining slices into (zip lock type quart size) plastic bags (3 per bag) and keep them in the refrigerator until I want another one. It helps to separate them gently with a table knife first. I haven't tried toasting this bread because the slices are too long to fit into my toaster and even if I halved them, I think they'd leave too many crumbs at the bottom. That's probably its only downside for me. I daresay one could make a good Reuben sandwich with it, although it would be a rather heavy sandwich. Its flavor wouldn't be suitable for PB&J or other sweet fillings.I think it would be too likely to break apart on irregular fillings like a BLT. For a two slice sandwich I think it would really need something that would hold the bread together, like cheese or liverwurst that's spread, not sliced, and the filling would need to be relatively thin -- not thick in the middle like a deli sandwich. It's a good, honest, respectable bread whose flavor hasn't been tweaked to make a person's taste buds want to eat the entire packet at one go, the way snack foods are, which is something I'm grateful for! One does need to handle a single slice somewhat carefully to avoid breaking it -- don't bend it.

God awful. For the bread received, there should be 5 negative (yucky) emojis to the left of the stars. Frankly, I'd give it 3 Yucks out of 5. Smell? Chemicals. No, not a rye fragrance. Texture? Dry. Slices literally crumbled while removing them from the bread's bag. Also, toasting? The width of each slice did not fit into a standard size toaster's toasting slot. Option? Break the crumbling bread slice in half. (Good luck with that.) To be fair, the other loaves in the bundle were not taste tested. MAYBE they were satisfactory. A best by date was not apparent with a cursory examination. The good news is that this product was opened the day after its arrival. The best news? It was coincidentally taste tested on garbage collection day. Bottom line? Let's hope the dump critters can enjoy it.

Good value, keeps your blood glucose level, best if toasted and warm (but can be eaten without toasting). I open the package, cut the pieces half, and freeze in a Ziploc by placing a small piece of wax paper in between of the slices. I take a piece or two out when I feel like enjoying them. I like mine toasted with sandwich meat and a slice of cheese. For work I take a frozen piece and make a sandwich. By !unch time its thawn and ready in my lunch bag. I used to buy this bread from the local Hy-vee, but they haven't had it for a while. I was very happy to find this in Amazon. Expiry date was months away.
