They\u2019re baked in a wood-fired or electric oven at 220-230\u00b0C for 20 minutes. <\/p>\n

8. Notes on traditionalism, homogeneity of spread and persistence of production rules over time:
\nIn 1870, Professor De Stefani reported: \u201cpotato cultivation has for some time spread as demand and prices have increased. Many also, when there is a shortage of maize and other cereals, mix potatoes with wheat to make bread\u201d. The uniqueness of this bread comes from its use of potato, which gives it a special flavour, and keeps it soft for numerous days – another reason why it was so popular in the past when housewives, busy in the fields, would only made bread once a week or less.<\/p>\n
9. Production:
\nProduction is about 200-300 tonnes a month. The amount produced is sold primarily in the area, with only a small portion destined for regional and national markets. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":190,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"product-type":[224],"nazione":[],"tipo-prodotto":[],"class_list":["post-16331","product","type-product","status-publish","hentry","category-fresh-pastries-and-bakery-products-biscuits-pastry-and-confectionery","product-type-pat-en"],"acf":{"vt_product_img":"http:\/\/vetrinatoscana.netseven.work\/app\/uploads\/2018\/10\/482_594.jpg","vt_product_logo":"","vt_product_gallery":null,"vt_convenzionale":null,"vt_stagionalita":null,"vt_zona_consegna":null,"vt_modalita_consegna":null,"vt_tempi_consegna":null,"vt_scheda_ex-arsia":null,"logo_consorzio_di_tutela":null,"vt_campo2":"","vt_campo3":"","vt_campo4":"Tutti i comuni della Garfagnana e della Valle del Serchio, provincia di Lucca.","subtitle":null},"yoast_head":"\n
