BREADS AND CEREALS

The climate and soils in the Alpes de Haute-Provence make it an ideal area for growing durum wheat (for making pasta) and spelt wheat, a cereal with ancient origins.

Spelt wheat soup is delicious. Certain bakers have perpetuated traditions over the generations, and invite you to try their specialities such as olive bread, nut bread, country bread, and the "fougasses": savoury pastries with fillings made of all sorts of Haute-Provence foods : tomatoes, bacon, olives, etc.
