Focaccia
Focaccia sounds like a nice piece of poetry, but we are really talking about Italian flat bread. It originates from the area around the Ligurian coast, in the vicinity of Genoa. The name probably comes from the Latin ‘focus’ (hearth), as it was called by the Etruscans baking the bread on hot stones.
And that is where our focaccia really comes from: handmade in Genoa, and driven here by Vespa… or something in that nature.
The dough of focaccia is comparable to that of a pizza, but slightly thicker. The base consists of flour with a high level of gluten, oil, water, sugar, salt and yeast. The taste of the bread can be enhanced by utilizing olive oil and herbs; or by topping it with cheese, ham or vegetables. Focaccia is widely used in Italy as sandwich bread, but can also be used as a side dish with Italian meals, with a lick of butter. We have 6 different types in store for you, do you want to send your taste buds on an adventure? We will gladly bring them to you by truck.

Calabrese
This base is made with the cheese baked in it. The very buttery Strachino cheese is a strong condiment, as a surplus to the already wide variety of additional ingredients: zucchini, smoked salmon, dill, spinach, basil and red onion. In short, a taste sensation on a flat bread. And yet, not a pizza… Si!

Barese
Not to be confused with Baresi, the legendary Italian football player, but when it comes to legends, you can put this one right up there along with Franco. Additional flavors on this focaccia are the salami slices and black olives.
Genovese
The base contains small slices of tomato, while the toppings consist mainly of mozarella, pesto and prosciutto Crudo. Finished with a leaf of green and some olive oil. For those who love Italian ham and the typical ingredients from the boot-shaped peninsula.
Milanese
Southern vegetables, complemented with goodies from the sea and the south: anchovies, capers, rucola and Herbes de Provence. But what makes this focaccia truly to die for is the delicious Comté cheese.
