Until not so long ago, the main crop in the region was rye, the basic product for the production of bread. Almost every house had its own "forno" in which "wood-fired bread" was made, so called because the baking took place in wood-fired ovens. Today there are many bakers who make "wood-fired bread", which is more than a way of working, it is a philosophy. A product with a taste, aroma and texture with differentiating nuances.
