About the dish

Rewena is a traditional Maori sourdough potato bread with a sweet and slightly sour flavor – a result of the long fermentation process. It is made with a potato starter, called bug , which causes the bread to rise and gives it a unique flavor. The bread is so popular that there is even a New World Rewena Paraoa Baking Competition held every year in New Zealand.
