The maltese bakery.

No mention of Maltese food is complete without a reference to the local bread, and more specifically the popular loaf called 'Tal-Malti' (literally, “of the Maltese"). Very crusty on the outside, yet soft on the inside, many visitors find the combination of taste and texture of fresh Maltese bread irresistible.

Indeed, Maltese bread tastes like no other bread in the world. However, to enjoy it at its best, the 'hobza tal-Malti' must be eaten fresh, on the same day it was baked. You can find typical Maltese bread at most village groceries and supermarkets. However, a visit to a bakery is well worth your while, if only to witness and appreciate the rustic authenticity of the way it is produced - not to mention savouring the enticing aroma of the finished product, fresh out of the oven!
