Pane di Segale con Cumino di Bolzano
Trentino-Alto Adige — Bolzano, Alto Adige
Bolzano's rye-and-caraway bread — a dense, dark loaf made entirely from segale (rye flour) with whole caraway seeds (kümmel) throughout, baked in a wood-fired oven. In Alto Adige, this bread is the everyday table bread rather than wheat bread — it accompanies Speck, smoked cheeses, and the preserved meats that define the region. The caraway seeds are not a garnish — they are distributed throughout the crumb at a ratio that produces a warming, anise-adjacent flavour in every bite.
