Fortwenger Sliced Pain d’Epices with 50% Honey 200g

Discover the taste of Alsace with Fortwenger’s sliced gingerbread loaf, made in Gertwiller, a village long known for its expertise in pain d’épices. This recipe combines rye flour, 50% honey, and a touch of cinnamon, creating a naturally rich and balanced flavour with soft, moist slices perfect for breakfast or afternoon tea. 

Each loaf is prepared using Fortwenger’s classic Alsatian method, where the dough rests to allow the honey and spices to fully develop their aroma before baking. The result is a mild sweetness and warm spice that pairs beautifully with butter, jam, or foie gras. 

Perfect for: Toasting, pairing with cheese or pâté, or enjoying as a naturally sweet treat with tea or coffee. It’s also the secret ingredient for Carbonade Flamande a rich beef stew made with beer.
