Ingredient appreciation — what makes Rugbrød special

What sets Rugbrød apart is the handling of rye bread rugbrød. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the clean and fermented result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.

Danish New Nordic cuisine movement redefined fine dining globally in the 2000s. The a Copenhagen smørrebrød lunch bar atmosphere was right for this kind of food. I had cold buttermilk as recommended and it matched well. If you want to understand what makes this cuisine distinctive, Rugbrød is the place to start.
