Pane sciocco
Italian bread
Pane sciocco (Italian: [ˈpaːne ʃˈʃɔkko]; also called pane toscano outside Tuscany) is a variety of bread commonly found in Tuscany, Umbria, and Marche regions of Italy. Sciocco means 'without salt', but is also a synonym for 'stupid' in Italian.
Tu proverai sì come sa di sale lo pane altrui, ...
You will experience how salty is the others' bread, ...
- Dante Alighieri from the Divine Comedy
Saltless
Being different from the other types of Italian bread, pane sciocco does not have any salt added. According to legend, bakers created a saltless bread so they did not have to pay an increased salt tax.[1]
Pane sciocco is often eaten with Tuscan condiments such as pecorino toscano cheese, ham, sausages, and prosciutto.[1]
