Italian term or phrase: spaccatura da taglio
Bread description:

Dimensioni: filoni da circa 700 g, con marcata spaccatura da taglio.

I can't think of an appropriate phrase here. Any help much appreciated.

scored opening
Explanation:
This sounds like it's referring to how bread opens during baking after it has been 'scored' or 'slashed'.
I'm not sure exactly how to adapt it for this particular phrase but you might be able to find something online if you look up scored loaves etc.

large cut


Explanation:
no more context?

or large visible cut

"da taglio" seems to indicate a knife cut but it probably isn't necessary to put that in.

Asker: Thanks Shera. That sounds good. There is no other relevant text. It is a description of a traditional Biella loaf.

Explanation:
One idea:

Example sentence(s):
  • "Some breads are SLASHED, which not only creates a decorative effect, but provides a means for some of the carbon dioxide gas to escape resulting in a loaf that retains an even shape. SLASHING also prevents the bread from splitting and cracking ..."
  • "Proved bread already has a slightly dry crust from contact with the air, which inhibits rising, and SLASHING through this crust exposes the soft, stretchy dough inside. I nearly always SLASH my bread, but there are a couple of exceptions. "
