As you take your first bite the crisp texture of the slice is followed by the subtle flavour hints of sourdough.Tasting Notes
As you take your first few bites the earthy flavour of the Rye Meal comes to the fore.
Continue eating and the rye flavour will fade into the background as the poppy seeds pop and dance on your tongue releasing soft, delicate flavours that accentuate the eating experience.
The finish has a hint of acidity from the sourdough flavours.
Tasting Notes
As you take your first bite you’ll taste the nutty sensations of the kibbled wheat and kibbled purple wheat.
As you consume more, the flavour of the pumpkin seed topping fully develops and dominates the palate but remains balanced and reserved.
As you finish the slice you’ll find that there is a very subtle whisper of sourdough flavours in the background.
