Repost @slowfood_international by @media.repost: There is only one baker left in the Swiss Canton of who still makes traditional rye according to its old recipe. In the tiny village of Simplondorf, Urs Amadeo still bakes the slightly flattened conical loaves of rye bread, mixing fine rye bran, water, and salt to a jealously guarded starter. The starter has been passed down several generations, and its mix not only imparts a delicious sour flavor the the bread, but guarantees a long life to it (as long as a few months). The Slow Food Ark of Taste is a project aimed at protecting biodiversity by cataloguing and promoting products like Switzerland's Traditional Valais Rye Bread.
