A traditional Maori sourdough bread from New Zealand, made using a potato-based fermented starter known as a rewena paraoa bug. The bread has a dense, slightly tangy flavour and a soft crumb, and it holds deep cultural significance within Maori communities as a food passed down through generations. Rewena is experiencing a resurgence of interest as both a cultural touchstone and a naturally fermented artisan bread, and it's now found at farmers' markets and shared as a symbol of Maori culinary heritage.
Her nana's rewena was always the first thing to disappear at the community hangi.
