Upplandskubb PDO
Upplandskubb PDO is a traditionally produced rustic bread from Uppland, Sweden. It is made from local rye and wheat flour, and is boiled in a water bath rather than baked which means that the bread has no crust. Its texture is fine and compact and somewhat sticky on the inside, with small cavities. The bread is produced in a cylindrical shape with a diameter of 16-23 cm. This means that a slice is a segment of a circle.
Upplandskubb PDO is typically made as part of Christmas celebrations. It has a sweetish taste with clear notes of syrup and seeds, a distinct rye flavour and a slight bitterness to the aftertaste. It is enjoyed simply with butter, or cheese.
EU cereal products are traceable from farm to fork. This way, any product posing a potential risk to consumers can be quickly identified and withdrawn from the market.
