// FIELD TRIP TO KITTSEE, LEARNING ABOUT THE MAKING OF THE KITTSEER BIO-HOLZOFENBROT //

The debut of Ströck bakery’s Kittseer organic wood-fired bread at Vienna’s Karmelitermarkt in 2023 quickly stirred culinary buzz. Its allure? A dark, crispy crust paired with a juicy, fluffy crumb, enriched with distinctive roasted aromas, and remarkably, it stays moist even after a week in the bread box.

Adding to its charm, master baker Pierre Reboul himself sells the bread at the market, week after week. What truly sets it apart, though? Beyond the taste, what’s the secret?

Recently, we had the opportunity to visit ’s wood-fired bakery in Kittsee, offering us a unique behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the renowned Kittseer Bio-Holzofenbrot.

Join us on a journey to the Kittseer wood-fired oven and delve deeper into the artistry behind the Kittseer Bio-Holzofenbrot. Learn more in our field notes: https://www.weareferment.com/journal/field-trip-kittsee-dem-geschmack-des-kittseer-bio-holzofenbrots-auf-der-spur
