What it is
This is a loaf of Italian-style rye bread. It is made with rye flour, which gives it a distinct flavor and a slightly denser texture than white bread. The bread is baked without any seeds on the crust. It has a soft interior and a moderately firm crust, making it suitable for a variety of culinary applications. The rye flour contributes a subtle earthiness to the overall taste profile.
