The Beginning of Mestemacher Bread
In 1871, German shoemaker Johann Heinrich Mestemacher opened a bakery for his 20-year-old son Wilhelm, a master baker. After working decades as the town baker in Gütersloh, Wilhelm launched a store specifically for producing pumpernickel, a dark rye bread. In 1910, making Vollkornbrot (German-style whole grain bread) became his main mission. And thanks to a new pasteurization method, this bread was granted a much longer shelf life than other types, which is why we at Supermarket Italy are able to sell it to you today!
Rye Bread: A Healthier Choice
Rye bread is healthier than white bread because it is high fiber, nutrient-rich, and made with whole grains, making it a better choice for maintaining healthy weight and blood sugar. It also contains less gluten, which makes it denser; that combined with its high fiber content make rye bread more filling. Its dark color and earthy taste also make it stand out from other varieties. Mestemacher’s long-lasting, wholemeal and pumpernickel breads are all about helping you achieve a more natural lifestyle.
