Leksands Swedish Rye Crispbreads Rounds - 400g (14 oz)

The story of Leksand Crispbread began when Jon Olofsson and Anna Olsson, a locally famous baker, started a bakery in the 1920s. Anna was known for her delicious baked rusks, which she often shared with friends, neighbors, and even local grocery stores who would then sell them. Jon, a more practical individual, assisted Anna in turning her culinary talents into a thriving business.

The couple had five children, three daughters and two sons, all of whom had to contribute to the bakery's operations to keep up with the growing demand. Today, the fourth generation of the family still maintains control of the business.

Knäcke, also known as crispbread or hard bread, is a staple of the Swedish smörgåsbord. Made from wholesome rye flour, knäcke is prized for its distinctive flavor, nutritional value, and the ability to remain fresh for an extended period when stored in a cool, dry environment. Topped with a light layer of butter, knäcke serves as the perfect foundation for a variety of toppings, such as cured salmon, herring, cheese, or vegetable dips.

The Leksand Crispbread story is one of family tradition, entrepreneurial spirit, and the enduring appeal of a simple, yet delicious, Swedish staple. As the generations have passed, the family has remained committed to preserving the quality and authenticity of their product, ensuring that the Leksand Crispbread legacy continues to be celebrated and enjoyed by loyal customers, both within Sweden and around the world.
