Paramount Bakeries Bread, Pumpernickel 20 oz
What You Should Know
Paramount Bakeries Pumpernickel is a classic, pre-sliced dark bread you’ll typically find in the refrigerated or ambient bread aisle alongside other packaged loaves — rye, pumpernickel varieties, whole wheat and sandwich breads — often near bagels and hamburger buns. Packaged in a clear plastic bag with branded labeling and a twist tie or clip, it leans on a heritage angle (“Since 1924”) that positions the brand as a longtime, dependable bakery. Shoppers pick it up on grocery runs for everyday sandwiches, Sunday brunch toasts, or when assembling rustic platters for guests. It works for casual weeknight dinners, deli-style sandwiches, and breakfast rituals of buttered toast or jam. The brand’s story targets adults who appreciate tradition and straightforward pantry staples rather than trend-driven shoppers; marketing reads as familiar and reliable rather than artisanal. The label does not carry organic certification or child-focused branding; it may feature heritage copy and simple ingredient callouts but no prominent “natural” seal. In plain terms this is a commercially produced, sliced bread — made from enriched wheat flour and a short list of industrial ingredients and preservatives — rather than a handcrafted sourdough. Sensory-wise, expect a dense, moist crumb with a deep brown color (enhanced by caramel color), subtle sweetness and the earthy bite of caraway; slices are uniform and ready for layering. Rituals include quick sandwich assembly, open-faced toast, or accompaniment to soups and smoked meats.
