Recco PGI cheese focaccia Da Lino

La focaccia al formaggio di Recco igp Da Lino

Recco IGP cheese focaccia from Da Lino.
One of the excellences of Liguria and specifically of the Riviera di Levante is certainly the cheese focaccia.
You can taste it throughout the Riviera but the best (and the IGP one) is only in Recco.
Some time ago I went to taste the one from the Da Lino restaurant which was obviously excellent!

Focaccia barese, an all-Italian specialty

La focaccia barese, una specialità tutta italiana

Focaccia barese, an all-Italian specialty.
Focaccia barese is a typical gastronomic specialty of the city of Bari, in Puglia, Italy. This delicious flat bread is a culinary delight enjoyed both in its traditional form and in the variations that have developed over time. Focaccia barese is particularly known for its soft and spongy texture, combined with a rich and aromatic flavor.
Focaccia barese is based on high-quality ingredients. The flour used is often type 0 or 00, while extra virgin olive oil is a key element that contributes to its unique flavor.
The dough of focaccia barese is essentially a combination of flour, water, yeast, salt and olive oil. This is worked to obtain a soft and elastic consistency that gives the focaccia its light structure.
Another crucial element is the leavening process, which can take several hours. This step is essential to ensure that the focaccia becomes soft and spongy.
Focaccia barese can be enriched with a variety of traditional toppings. One of the most common is “pomodoro e olive,” which involves the use of chopped tomatoes and black or green olives. Some also add oregano, coarse salt, or onion.
Focaccia barese is usually baked in the oven at a high temperature. The end result is a golden, crispy crust that envelops a soft center.
While focaccia barese has a basic recipe, it is important to note that there can be regional or even family variations. Some may prefer a thinner focaccia, while others may opt for a thicker version.
Focaccia barese is often eaten as a snack, but it is equally suitable for splitting and filling into delicious sandwiches. It is a popular choice for a quick meal or to take with you on a stroll through the charming streets of Bari.

Focaccia barese is much more than just bread; it is a culinary experience that captures the heart and palate of anyone who tastes it. Its tradition and distinctive flavor make it one of the gastronomic treasures of Puglia.

Focaccia barese is a leavened baked product typical of Puglia. It is especially widespread in the provinces of Bari, Barletta-Andria-Trani, Taranto, part of the province of Brindisi (Ostuni, Fasano, Ceglie Messapica and Cisternino), Gargano and in general in the province of Foggia, where it can be found regularly in bakeries. In 2010, the Consorzio Focaccia barese was established and began the process for the registration of Focaccia di Bari in the European register of TSGs.

A few pieces of the typical Ligurian savoury focaccia

A few pieces of the typical Ligurian savory focaccia.
What's more delicious than a few pieces of focaccia, still warm, bought in the bakery downstairs for breakfast?
For many Ligurians, probably nothing! More than a croissant or brioche... here breakfast is made with focaccia and cappuccino and, strictly speaking, we dip the fugassa in the cappuccino!
Try it and believe it!

Here you can find my recipe for focaccia all’olio alla genovese that I used to prepare this delight.

The real Recco DOP Cheese Focaccia

La Focaccia al Formaggio dop di Recco

The real Focaccia al Formaggio dop from Recco.
In Liguria, at least the one in the Levante area, in almost every pizzeria or bakery you can find and taste focaccia with cheese.
The one from Recco, however, is something else entirely (no offence to anyone) and has a completely different flavour!
In fact, I had tasted this one in Recco at the Pizzeria del Ponte which is part of the Consorzio Focaccia di Recco.

Cheese focaccia in Recco

La focaccia al formaggio a Recco

Cheese focaccia in Recco.
One of the most famous Ligurian dishes in Italy and in the world is definitely cheese focaccia (it is even prepared on ships for special occasions).
Although you can find and taste it in almost all of the Riviera di Levante and the Gulf of Tigullio, the original one is prepared in the town of Recco. The one with D.O.P. certification from the consortium can only be found in some bakeries and pizzerias.
In fact, I had tasted this one in Recco in the Pizzeria del Ponte which is part of the Consorzio Focaccia di Recco.

Focaccia e pesto alla genovese con burrata

Focaccia e pesto alla genovese con burrata

Focaccia e pesto alla genovese con burrata.
Negli ultimi tempi in cui stavo a casa avevo sviluppato una dipendenza da questi tre elementi: la focaccia all’olio, il pesto alla genovese e la burrata.
Mettendoli tutti assieme, scaldando e rendendo un poco croccante la focaccia, gli altri due elementi le si sposano incredibilmente bene assieme.
Lo ammetto: gli ingredienti sono tutti comprati al supermercato ma ho la fortuna, abitando in Liguria, di avere tutto di una qualità molto alta nonostante provenga dalla grande distribuzione.

Alcuni pezzetti di focaccia ligure fatta in casa da me.
Uno dei cibi più buoni della mia Liguria è sicuramente la focaccia all’olio (focaccia genovese).
Durante il lock-down ho cominciato a prepararla e cuocerla a casa ed il risultato non era per niente male(come potete vedere dalle foto!).
Sottile, croccante e molto salata, come piace a me!

Cheese Focaccia with Raw Ham

Focaccia al formaggio con prosciutto crudo

Cheese focaccia with raw ham.
The classic one is probably the best but the variations are also exceptional.
As in this case in which the classic cheese focaccia d.o.p. is added to raw ham (if I'm not mistaken also this d.o.p.). A truly exceptional combination: the saltiness of the ham and the taste of the Stracchino and the focaccia.
Enjoyed in Recco at the Pizzeria del Ponte which is part of the Consorzio Focaccia di Recco.

Recco cheese focaccia with pesto

La focaccia al formaggio al pesto

Recco cheese focaccia with pesto.
In itself, cheese focaccia, when eaten in Recco, is a masterpiece. If you then add another equally good Ligurian excellence, Genoese pesto, to this dish, you create something truly exceptional.
A few weeks ago, when we still could, friends and I went to Recco to the Pizzeria del Ponte which is part of the Consorzio Focaccia di Recco to have a proper lunch!
Everything was exceptional, not just the cheese focaccia!

I'm adding a note because the last time I wrote a post about cheese focaccia with pesto I received a lot of criticism about the fact that the pesto doesn't need to be cooked!
The pesto isn't cooked: it's added only at the end of cooking (as is the raw ham in another version).

La focaccia genovese pronta da gustare

La focaccia pronta da gustare

La focaccia genovese è una cosa che manca a tutti quando siamo lontani dalla Liguria.
Recentemente l’ho anche fatta a casa ma il risultato, per quanto non così male, era decisamente lontano da quella del panificio.
Che fare? Comperarla, come faccio io. Da noi ci sono molti panifici e in quasi tutti il livello è molto alto!

Questa nelle foto è quella, probabilmente attualmente la migliore di Sestri, del Panificio Vassallo!

In ancient times, the Phoenicians and Greeks used cereal flours such as barley and rye that were mixed with water and cooked over a fire. This allowed them to be preserved for long periods of time. The focaccia was considered by the Romans to be such a valuable food that it was offered to the gods during their celebrations.
