Nut bread with walnuts is a true embodiment of Italian tradition. Its rich nutty aroma and crispy crust make every bite delightful. Walnuts not only add a pleasant taste but also provide textural variety, creating a harmonious combination with the soft, airy crumb. This bread pairs wonderfully with cheeses, olive oil, and honey, and can also serve as a base for hearty sandwiches. In Italy, such bread is often served at breakfast or used as an accompaniment to traditional soups and pastas. Its rich flavor makes it an ideal complement to a glass of wine and a cozy family dinner.
