Focaccia with cherry tomato and rosemary

Golden and crisp outside, tender inside, with roasted cherry tomatoes on top and rosemary running through the dough. Focaccia Spiga Gourmet fills the kitchen with a Mediterranean smell in minutes in the oven.

Tomato on top, rosemary inside

The cherry tomatoes are laid on the dough before it goes into the oven. There they open, concentrate and let their juice fall onto the surface, and that is where the contrast comes from between the sweetness of the roast tomato and the salt of the focaccia.

The rosemary, on the other hand, is worked into the dough. It scents from within, in every bite, rather than sitting on top as a herb that falls off at the first cut.

Durum wheat semolina

The dough is made with durum wheat semolina, not white flour. That is what gives it its warm colour and a crumb with body, able to hold the tomato without softening, and what makes the crust really crack.

What makes it special

• Golden crust, tender crumb: slowly baked, crisp outside and still moist inside.
• Roasted cherry tomatoes: on top, opened by the heat of the oven.
• Rosemary in the dough: aroma through the whole bite, not just on the surface.
• Extra virgin olive oil: the one that browns the surface and scents the crumb.
• Ready in minutes: from the pack to the oven, and to the table.

On our Instagram we post ideas for making the most of it.

How to enjoy it

• To warm it: five minutes in the oven at 200 °C and it is crisp again.

• As a base: for gourmet sandwiches, with cured meats, Italian cheeses or roast vegetables.
• On the table: alongside a board of antipasti.
• Suggested pairing: fresh whites such as a Verdicchio or a Soave Classico, or young reds like Dolcetto or dry Lambrusco.

Frequently asked questions

Can it be warmed or toasted?

Yes. Five to seven minutes in the oven, or in a pan or air fryer, brings back the crisp crust.

Can it be frozen?

Yes, in portions. Bake it straight from frozen, without thawing, so it keeps its texture.

Does it contain olive oil?

Yes, extra virgin olive oil, which is what gives it its aroma and the golden surface.

How should it be stored once opened?

In the fridge, between 0 °C and 4 °C, well wrapped or in an airtight bag. Eat it within two or three days, and warm it before serving.
