Harvest Heritage Loaf with nuts - Pain de Méteil aux noisettes

Enjoy!

Pain de Méteil with Walnuts and Almonds is a refined variation of the classic French bread, enhanced with the rich flavors and textures of premium walnuts and almonds. This artisanal loaf starts with the traditional blend of 50% rye flour and 50% wheat flour, leavened with a rye sourdough starter for depth of flavor and natural preservation.

The addition of walnuts and almonds elevates this rustic bread, infusing it with a nutty aroma and a delightful crunch. The walnuts bring a slightly earthy and buttery flavor, while the almonds add a hint of sweetness and a tender bite. Together, these ingredients create a harmonious balance that makes each slice a luxurious treat.

Once upon time… the Méteil! 

In a small village nestled in the French countryside, a baker was inspired by the rhythms of the seasons. Autumn, with its golden leaves and crisp air, brought an abundance of walnuts and almonds from the nearby orchards. These nuts, cherished for their rich flavor and nourishing qualities, sparked an idea: to blend their essence with the classic Pain de Méteil.

The baker began experimenting, carefully folding hand-cracked walnuts and toasted almonds into the dough of rye and wheat. As the bread baked, the aroma of nuts mingled with the earthy scent of the rye sourdough, filling the bakery with a warmth that drew villagers to the shop.

Word spread quickly about this new creation. Farmers paired it with ripe cheeses and fresh honey from the market, while families found comfort in its hearty, nutty slices on chilly mornings. The bread became a local favorite, not just for its taste, but for the story it carried—a tale of the land, the harvest, and the baker’s touch.

Today, the Pain de Méteil with Walnuts and Almonds carries this tradition to tables far beyond that little village. Each loaf is a celebration of craftsmanship and the flavors of nature, inviting everyone who tastes it to savor a piece of France’s culinary heritage.

J'adore!

This loaf is ideal for gourmet pairings. Enjoy it with creamy cheeses, robust charcuterie, or simply toasted with a drizzle of honey. The richness of the nuts complements the tangy notes of rye, creating a bread that feels as special on a festive table as it does for a cozy breakfast.
