It might take some getting used to, but Pane Toscano (“Tuscan bread”) is a delicious staple of the Tuscan diet. Its most noticeable characteristic is its lack of salt. While Tuscans maintain the reason is so the bread pairs perfectly with otherwise salty foods such as pecorino cheese, prosciutto and salami, the actual reason Florentines and Sienese renounced salt in their bread was in response to heavy taxation on salt in centuries past. Buon appetito!
