For several years now, Latvian rye bread has been produced in the United States by physics professor and entrepreneur Jānis Melngailis, who both bakes and markets it. The venture he started has continued running steadily, driven by his persistence.
A bakery in New York
The bread is made at a bakery in New York, from where it travels on to several other cities across the United States. This has made the Latvian rye bread accessible to a wider circle of people beyond just one city.
A passion and a personal story
For Melngailis, baking and selling rye bread is more than a side activity — it is a genuine passion tied to his personal and professional life story. The physics professor has brought the same persistence to his business as he has to his academic career, keeping this piece of Latvian tradition alive in the US.
