Naturally leavened Pane Toscano DOP (Tuscan bread) is produced with Tuscan type "0" soft wheat flour complete with its wheat germ. It’s known for its roasted hazelnut scent and for the simple, yet not bland, flavor that accompanies tasty, local cured meats.

The Consortium for the Protection of Pane Toscano DOP, officially recognized by the Ministry in 2019, has been promoting the consumption of sourdough bread since the 2000s, ensuring its long-life and easy digestibility.
