Liguria
Liguria in tavola
Liguria is located along Italy’s northwestern coast. Steep hills covered with fragrant herbs and colorful vegetables lead down to the fish-filled waters.
Focaccia genovese
The classic focaccia genovese is made with a combination of soft and hard wheat flour, mixed long and well, with yeast, oil, water and salt. You can add rosemary, onion, and oregano to season the focaccia, however the most traditional version calls for no extra flavorings.
