Question

Why does the bread have no salt in Florence, Italy?

Answer 1

I think it is because in ancient time salt was to expensive to buy . this particularity  remained ever since

Answer 2

Long ago the ruling class imposed a tax on salt when there had previously been none.  The citizens rebelled and the bakers decided they would not use salt in their bread - therefore they wouldn't pay the tax.  The tax was eventually lifted but they kept the no salt bread-it sure is good!

Answer 3

maybe during the renaissance most people didnt put salt and now its like a custom

Answer 4

Because they eat better than we do in america!  Ages back, italy suffered from hunger...bread and pasta were the cheapest things to make.  without salt, all you need is flour and water and yeast.  however, you can get bread in italy with salt in it, just ask for ''pane salata'' and they'll give you a choice.  Pugliese bread is salted, and so is ciabatta.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Maybe because it's meant for dipping in seasoned olive oil?
