Pane di Altamura

Pane di Altamura, meaning Altamura bread, is a leavened Italian bread made in the Altamura area of the Apulia region using local remilled durum wheat, with a brittle exterior and a chewy, straw-colored interior. In 2003 it received protected designation of origin status under European Union regulation, becoming the first bread in Europe to achieve that certification, requiring production according to strict specifications within its designated area.
