Zopf Bread

The Swiss are obsessed with bread, just like they are with cheese. Wherever you go in the country, you'll find a huge variety of different types, as well as regional specialties. If you're impressed by Switzerland's 475 types of cheese, prepare to pick your jaw up off the ground once more.

Switzerland has 22 speciality breads from different regions. They contribute to the production of over 200 different types of breads across the country. After six months, you could eat a different type every day and still have a new one to try!

Even if you dislike fluffy flour, there is one type of bread that everyone should try while in Switzerland. Zopf bread is a traditional Swiss breakfast item that can be found on most local breakfast tables. The soft, knotted bread is served with jam, nutella, or just butter. You'll want to go to your local bakery every day because it's so simple but so delicious. You can also expect to see Zopf bread on restaurant menus throughout Switzerland.
