Bread of Alfacar is a Protected Geographical Indication seal that protects and identifies the baking tradition of Alfacar, a town in the province of Granada . It contains wheat flour, sourdough, yeast, salt and water from the Alfacar spring. The Alfacar bread is produced in different formats from the same original dough. Its crumb is flexible, with a mild flavor, creamy white in color, with abundant and irregular pores.​ This bread is ideal to accompany typical dishes of the area such as setas fritas, alimoje con bacalao or choto al ajillo .
The municipalities authorized for its production are Alfacar, a town of five and a half thousand inhabitants, and Víznar, with less than a thousand. Both are located at the foot of the La Alfaguara Mountain Range, about 5 km north of Granada. Alfacar and Víznar have historically been towns supplying bread to the city of Granada.
