🪵 Story & Identity Slogan: “Old soul, bold taste”
A bold, hearty bread rooted in old-world tradition but reimagined by Peber with rich, smoky, and subtly sweet flavours. “Hearth” evokes warmth, heritage, and the dark, luxurious colour of true pumpernickel — slow-baked like it came from a wood-fired oven. The hearth was sacred and stood for home, family, and social order in old Grece. It represented domesticity—activities such as baking bread and preparing a meal. Thus, the ancient Greeks worshipped daily at their hearths; in this sense, every family had a shrine to Hestia. Pumpernickel utilizes whole grain rye flour and berries, meaning that it contains all three grain layers: bran, germ, and endosperm.

-2-🥖 “German Rye Dinkelbrot Tin " 900 gr
Story & Identity Slogan: “Magic Happens”
Sourdough Rye bread combines the benefits of sourdough fermentation with the nutritional advantages of Rye flour and organic Spelt. Dinkelbrot is a traditional German bread made primarily from Dinkel, the German word for Spelt (Triticum spelta), an ancient grain related to wheat. Known for its nutty flavour, Dinkelbrot typically has a dense yet tender crumb and a crisp, dark crust.
It is made by Peber with a majority of Rye T130 flour blended with Organic Spelt flour. This bread is valued for being easier to digest than modern wheat bread and is often favoured by those with mild wheat sensitivities (though not suitable for people with celiac disease). Many versions also include whole Spelt grains, seeds, or sourdough, adding to its hearty texture and nutritional value. Dinkelbrot pairs well with cheese, cold cuts, or spreads and is a staple in German bakeries and health-conscious households.
Here are the key benefits
✅ 1. Easier to Digest
- Sourdough fermentation breaks down gluten and phytic acid, making it gentler on the digestive system.
- Rye and Spelt have less gluten than wheat, further reducing digestive stress.
✅ 2. Lower Glycemic Index
- Causes a slower rise in blood sugar compared to regular white or wheat bread.
- Good for people with insulin resistance or diabetes (in moderation).
✅ 3. Rich in Fiber
- Rye flour is high in soluble fibre, which supports:
- Digestive health
- Regular bowel movements
- Longer-lasting satiety (feeling full)
✅ 4. Natural Probiotics
- Live cultures from sourdough may benefit your gut microbiome as the bread is not overly processed.
(Note: Most baked bread won’t retain live probiotics, but fermentation still leaves behind helpful compounds.)
✅ 5. More Nutrient Availability
- Fermentation helps your body absorb minerals like:
- Iron
- Magnesium
- Zinc
- B vitamins
- This happens because sourdough breaks down phytates, which normally block nutrient absorption.
✅ 6. May Improve Heart Health
- Rye Fibre has been shown in some studies to help:
- Lower cholesterol
- Reduce inflammation
- Support healthy blood pressure
✅ 7. Longer Shelf Life (Naturally)
- The natural acids in Ryesourdough act as preservatives, reducing the need for additives or artificial preservatives.
-3-🥖 Pain Complet 750 gr
Story & Identity Slogan: “Goodness on your plate”
"Pain complet" literally means "complete bread" in French. It refers to whole wheat bread made with farine complète (wholemeal flour), which contains the entire wheat grain—bran, germ, and endosperm. It’s a more rustic, fibre-rich alternative to white bread (like pain blanc), and often denser and more flavourful.
✅ Benefits of Pain Complet
1. High in Fiber
- Whole wheat flour retains the bran, which is packed with dietary fiber.
- Fiber supports digestion, gut health, and satiety (keeps you full longer).
2. Slower Blood Sugar Rise
- Lower glycaemic index compared to white bread.
- Helps maintain steady energy and may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.
3. More Nutrients
- Wholemeal flour is richer in:
- B vitamins (especially B1, B3, B6)
- Iron
- Magnesium
- Zinc
- Antioxidants
- These nutrients support energy metabolism, immunity, and muscle function.
4. Heart Health
- Whole grain consumption is linked to:
- Lower cholesterol
- Reduced inflammation
- Lower risk of heart disease

Fermentation for 1 week of the wild yeasts of sourdough do a fine job of weaving their magic with a rich flavour on this below 1.2% ABV low alcohol drink , gone after baking.
- The goodness of Kvass has been elevated with Manuka Honey and Organic Zambian Forest Honey gathered by rural beekeepers in north-west Zambia, where wild bees thrive in traditional bark hives among the rich flora of the Miombo forest supporting sustainable livelihoods and preserving a way of life. Cold-pressed and gently warmed to hive temperature (around 40–45°C), the honey is minimally filtered to retain its natural pollen – giving it a bold, earthy character and smooth, floral depth.
- 60% Pink Himalayan salt is often marketed as a healthier alternative to regular table salt. While many of the claimed benefits are exaggerated or unproven, it does have some distinctive features and minor potential advantages. It’s a rock salt mined from the Khewra Salt Mine in Pakistan. Its pink color comes from trace minerals like iron, magnesium, potassium, and calcium+ 40% Natural organic sea salt. In both cases No bleaching and No anti-caking agents .
