About Us
Our Idea
This adventure comes from the past: a recent past and a distant past.
The distant past comes from the tradition of Italian regional cuisine: Focaccia.
The recent past is based on friendship between people who share values and contacts in the world: Italy.
The combination of these two extraordinary elements has generated a simple but brilliant idea, which has been transformed into our brand: Focacce Italiane.
Our Mission
Focacce Italiane is a company that creates, produces and distributes its product through monobrand stores and in the international markets, turning its clients experience in a truly unique eno-gastronomic experience.
Product innovation, creativity in the brand communication, contemporaneity in the selling formats, accessibility in price are the components of our business model.
Our Vision
We have created a company that is inspired by the tradition of focaccia and merges it with the italian style and the creativity of the kitchen, renewing it completely.
The coloured focaccia is born, a product made by hand, in all its versions of formats and tastes.
The Focaccia
Our Product
Focacce Italiane wants to gather the traditions of the popular gastronomic culture of our country, transforming them into a new product offer that consolidates its core-product on focaccia, but enriches it with colours, aromas, flavours, tastes and makes it versatile in dishes suitable for all clients and occasions of the day.
The richness of focaccia is linked to its ease of consumption: it can be enjoyed at breakfast and snack in the sweet version, it can represent a meal with garnished and stuffed versions, during the aperitif accompanied by a drink and can satisfy the appetite any time of the day, with the habit of consuming it at home or in the street, as we do in our country.
Our core-product is focaccia, made with soft wheat flours minced exclusively in Italian mills and the dough is made following the habits of craftsmanship made in Italy, through the use of a selection of refined olive oils, malt, brewer’s yeast, salt.
Our focaccia, in almost all its versions, respects the habits of the vegetarian clients.
THE HISTORY OF THE PRODUCT
The history of this product sinks in the ancient roots of the Italian popular gastronomy and it represents an extraordinary variety of the regional cuisine of our country.
In Genova, home of the most famous focaccia and commonly called «Fugassa» in the local dialect, it is said that since the Middle Ages it was eaten at home and in the church, on the occasion of weddings to celebrate, accompanied by a glass of wine.
In the same region, in Recco, the focaccia is made without yeast, filled with fresh cheese and cooked in a wood oven, according to the guidelines that certify the originality of the local production.
In the northern and central Italy areas, the «Pinza Veneta» is enriched with salami or pancetta, other focaccia versions are cooked with parts of the pig that are called «Crescenta», as in Bologna.
In Toscana the focaccia is called «Schiacciata», anciently made with what remained of the dough used to prepare the daily bread; a well known version is the one with the black grape, called «Stiaccia», typical of Firenze and Maremma, once produced during the harvest period and appreciated for the contrast between sweet and salty, or consumed with pecorino cheese and finocchiona, as from the tradition of the Chianti countryside.
In the Marche, the «Crescia marchigiana» is cooked without oil and it challenges the best known piadina romagnola for its taste and flavour, while in Lazio, in the Gaeta area, the «Tiella» is a closed focaccia with a circular shape, filled with local products from land or sea, or there is the famous «Pizza Bianca», often consumed with the sole addition of a good olive oil.
In Southern Italy, originally from Salento, there is the «Sceblasti», a focaccia whose tradition returns to the times of Magna Grecia, prepared with durum wheat semolina and seasoned with many vegetables, while in Puglia the focaccia is coloured with local ingredients and, in the Bari area, the «Focaccia barese», made with black olives and cherry tomatoes, is the favourite snack of the locals.
