History

The publisher Søren Mittet first brought Dr. Kneipp's recipe to Norway, where the bakery Baker Hansen AS officially licensed it in 1895. The recipe and name were quickly copied. The official Oslo breakfast (Oslofrokosten) first prepared for Norwegian schools in 1929 employed a coarse form of the bread. According to FEDIMA, as of 2006, more than 60 million loaves were consumed annually.
