Pane Toscano

Pane sciocco 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. 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. Pane sciocco is often eaten with Tuscan condiments such as pecorino toscano cheese, ham, sausages, and prosciutto.
