Taste Review:  

This focaccia is tangy, and savoury all in one.  The sweet juicy cherry tomatoes combined with olives and fresh herbs are just so refreshing and pleasant to bite into.  

The fresh rosemary plus flaky sea salt is the ultimate addition to completing these juicy focaccia toppings.  The aroma from the olive oil, rosemary, and mixed herbs add layers of deliciousness after it is baked!

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.

Good choice!
