The Blue Duck Bakery Café, located in Southampton and Southold, NY, bakes one of America’s best breads according to SAVEUR Magazine’s May “American Bread” issue. Their Finnish-style sour rye or “ruisleipa” is number five of 20 outstanding loaves baked by America’s top artisanal bakers from around the nation.
“Keith Kouris’s two Long Island bakeries feature a vast range of international breads, but their Finnish-style sour rye is our favorite…” commented Meryl Rosofsky and Alex Rush in Saveur Magazine’s “Twenty Loaves We Love” article. Ruisleipa, also known as sour rye, is a dark, dense sour bread popular in Finland. It is baked in flat rings with a center hole that was traditionally placed on poles to dry.
The Blue Duck Bakery Café, open since 1999, is known for their exceptional artisan breads created by hand in the centuries old tradition of European bakers. Their artisan breads can be found at their two retail locations in Southampton and Southold. A third location in Riverhead is expected to open this summer. Blue Duck Bakery breads are delivered fresh daily from Montauk to Manhattan including Whole Foods Markets, NE region and Brooklyn’s Union Markets.
