Taste Review:

This French-style leaf shaped focaccia is a fluffy and soft bread and packed with big flavour inside and out! The dough is packed with mixed Italian herbs and healthy extra virgin olive oil.  The top is loaded with butter caramelised garlic with a generous amount of grated Parmesan cheese and infused with Brie cheese that are all freshly prepared on the day of baking. 

If you are trying our focaccia for the first time, this is a good intro to our sourdough focaccia collection. The texture is slightly chewy which is the characteristic of our sourdough focaccia.

We don't use any other oil except good cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil throughout the process in making and baking our focaccia, resulting in this aromatic and authentic Italian focaccia that is a delicious and healthier carb!

Best eaten on day baked. If you have to store, then keep in cling wrap, airtight container:

1-2 days at ambient / room temp / fridge

1 month in the freezer (well wrapped)

Our Sourdough:  

All our focaccia are made using sourdough, with just water, high protein unbleached flour, sea salt, and sourdough starter to prepare our dough.  We do not use egg, dairy, or lard oil to prepare this dough! 

The Texture:  

The crumbs are fluffy, soft, and have just the right chewiness, with a crusty crust when it is re-heated. Focaccia is best eaten warm so highly recommend to always re-heat your focaccia in the preheated oven, air-fryer, or toaster before serving to enjoy the focaccia at its best!

If you have to use a microwave oven which is not our recommended method, you will not get the crusty top and the focaccia will be soft and hot which is still enjoyable, I guess :)

Baker's Tips: How to best serve and store your focaccia?

1.  Cut up focaccia with a serrated knife/bread knife. The focaccia is definitely best served on the day it is freshly baked and warm.

2.  As our focaccia is pretty tall, it can be sliced in half and used as panini bread/sandwich bread.  It is also a delicious addition to your bread basket or eaten with a bowl of hot creamy soup or simply prepare a vinaigrette dip.

Recipe Tip: Prepare a balsamic vinaigrette dip with a few spoonfuls of good quality extra virgin olive oil, a spoonful of balsamic vinegar, a pinch of sea salt, and pepper to taste

3.  Our focaccia will keep well at ambient/room temperature for 1-2 days, covered with cling wraps and a resealable bag. 

4.  Always reheat your focaccia in a pre-heated oven at 200 C degrees for 6-8 minutes for the best flavour and texture. For focaccia with stuffing and cheese, always reheat for a few minutes more to make sure the stuffings are heated through. 

5.  For frozen focaccia, defrost in the chiller overnight, or 1-2 hours at room temp before reheating in the preheated oven, air-fryer, or oven toaster.  You can also use the microwave to reheat without thawing, the texture will be soft but no crusty top vs reheating in the oven, air-fryer, or toaster.

Great choice!
