The baguette --a long, crusty loaf bread that is a delicious staple of French life -- has been awarded special protected status.
Freshly baked news: the baguette, the long, crusty loaf bread that is a delicious staple of French life, has been awarded special protected status, placing it in a culinary pantheon alongside other regional food delicacies from around the world.
The"artisanal know-how and culture of the baguette" is now officially recognized on UNESCO's list of Intangible Cultural Heritage, the organization announced Wednesday, inscribing the expertise behind the French bread as an integral part of human culture. UNESCO -- the UN's cultural body -- defines intangible cultural heritage as"traditions or living expressions inherited from our ancestors and passed on to our descendants."
The baguette joins other foods and culinary cultures on UNESCO's list of Intangible Cultural Heritage, including the making of Neapolitan pizza, kimchi, Belgian beer culture, the"Mediterranean diet", and Arabic coffee.
According to the Observatoire du Pain, a research group that tracks bread consumption habits and trends in France, the average daily consumption rate of bread among adults dropped from 143 g/day in 2003 to 103 g/day in 2016. A rise in supermarket chains selling bread has been blamed for the closure of hundreds of family-owned bakeries.
