Fries roggebrood

(Frisian Rye Bread)

Fries roggebrood is a popular rye bread that is a specialty of the Dutch province of Friesland. Its flavor is slightly sweet and sour, similar to pumpernickel bread, while the texture is moist and dense, and its color is dark brown, almost black.

It is said that the bread will keep almost indefinitely if wrapped in plastic, but it can also be sliced and frozen for even further use.
