Is always time for a good focaccia! In Liguria peo Is always time for a good focaccia!
In Liguria people eat the classic focaccia even with cappuccino at breakfast. At lunch focaccia is delicious filled with typical cold cuts and cheese and it’s also perfect during the aperitivo, topped with onions, tomatoes, olives or potatoes and cut into small pieces so you can taste many flavors! .
