Bread is a very important subject to Portuguese people. You will find an unusual diversity of breads in Portugal specially when compared with other European countries. Shapes, cereal grain used, mixtures, etc are so diverse that you will always find the perfect bread for any occasion on a simple Portuguese supermarket. We can categorize bread within their grain cereal. So in general you will have:
- Pão Branco (literally White Bread) which is made with wheat cereal but only a part of the grain is used, thus a nutritional part is lost, but in the other end its a very easily digestive type of bread.
- Pão de Mistura (literally Mixed Bread) which is made or with a mixture of cereal grains or with a mixture of the same cereal grain but with different amounts of all grain and refined grain.
- Pão Integral (Literally Integral Bread) which is made with all grain.
- Pão de Milho (Cornbread) which is made with corn grain.
All this types of bread are then cooked in different ways (wood oven, industrial oven, etc.), and with different techniques and with different shapes which will result in different taste breads. Its also very common to see bread with olives on it or spices or even chorizo.
Some of the most common breads are known as Broa, Carcaça, Bola, Cacete, Pão Saloio and Pão Alentejano.
