Twice-baked bread. A loaf is baked, sliced, and returned to the oven until it is completely dry, which gives a hard, porous slice with a long shelf life.

Semolina, which is in the dough. It gives the slice a coarser, slightly sandy texture compared with one made from flour alone, and it holds its shape well when dunked.

No. Cake rusk is made from a cake batter rather than bread dough, so it is sweeter, richer and more crumbly. Bread rusk of this kind is drier and much less sweet. The two are sold side by side and are easy to confuse by name.

Because all the water has been baked out of it, which is the point -- that is what makes it keep, and what lets it absorb tea without falling apart immediately. It is not stale.

Keep it sealed and dry. Rusk is dried food, so it takes up humidity from the air and goes leathery once it does -- and a 600 gram pack is open for a while. Move what you are not using into an airtight container, keep it out of the fridge, and keep it away from the stovetop and kettle.

No. This page describes what the product is, what it is made from in general terms, and how it is packed and kept. It carries no statement about what the product does for you, and nothing on it should be read as dietary or nutritional advice.

Yes. Ingredients, allergen declarations, any nutrition information panel, the manufacturer's own storage instruction and the best-before date are all printed on the pack by the maker. Where this page and a pack differ, the pack is right.

Yes. Products in this range are imported, so pack design, size and label wording can change between shipments. What arrives is what the current pack says, which is another reason to read the label rather than rely on a description.
