The Slow Food movement * promotes a number of objectives, among those of special interest to us here in Italy being: • forming and sustaining seed banks to preserve indigenous varieties of plant and animal food sources in collaboration with local food providers • developing an "ark of taste" for each eco-zone, where local culinary traditions and local foods are celebrated • preserving and promoting local and traditional food products, along with their lore and preparation • organising small-scale processing
In Garfagnana and part of Serchio Valley, the tradition of making this potato bread, also called garfagnino, lives on. The bread is a combination of 85% wheat flour and 15% mashed potatoes, which make it softer and give it a fuller flavour. The huge 1-2 kilogram loaves are sliced and served with the salty cured meats of the Garfagnana, a traditional Tuscan pairing. Production Area: Garfagnana (Province of Lucca )
