Focaccia is a traditional Italian bread whose origins date back to Roman times, when it was prepared as a type of flatbread seasoned with herbs and olive oil. In Italy, especially in the Liguria region, focaccia is very popular and has become a symbol of the regional cuisine. In Latin America, although it retains its original name, in some countries it is associated with similar flatbreads but with variations in ingredients and techniques, adapting to local products. For example, in countries like Argentina and Chile, it is common to find focaccias with fresh ingredients and assorted cheeses, while in Mexico it may include more intense and spicy flavors.
The versatility of focaccia allows it to be a culinary canvas for multiple combinations, and one of the most surprising and delicious versions is the grape, blue cheese, and walnut focaccia. This combination offers a perfect balance between sweet, salty, and crunchy, ideal to enjoy as an appetizer or a special side dish.
