Pugliese focaccia is much more than a simple bakery product: it is a symbol of Southern Italy’s gastronomic culture. At Novoforno, we have made it possible to bring this tradition to every corner of the world thanks to our rapid freezing technology that preserves flavour, fragrance, and artisan quality intact.

Focaccia Barese: the queen of tradition

The Bari-style focaccia is the flagship product of our frozen range. Prepared according to the traditional recipe with remilled durum wheat semolina, potatoes, fresh cherry tomatoes, olives, and a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, it is hand-crafted by our master bakers at our Altamura facility.

The secret of our focaccia is the long natural leavening with mother yeast, which gives the product superior lightness and digestibility compared to industrial focaccia. Each piece is hand-stretched and individually dressed before baking.

From oven to freezer: technology that preserves quality

The IQF (Individual Quick Freezing) rapid freezing process instantly locks in the freshness of the freshly baked product. This means that restaurateurs, retailers, and end consumers can enjoy focaccia with the same organoleptic characteristics as a product straight from the oven.

Our frozen focaccia is available in several varieties:

• Focaccia Barese with cherry tomatoes and olives
• Rosemary focaccia with extra virgin olive oil
• Cherry tomato focaccia with semi-dried tomatoes
• Panfocaccia in various formats for foodservice

ATM and frozen formats for every need

In addition to frozen format, we offer our focaccia in Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP), ideal for temperature-controlled distribution. Both solutions guarantee optimal shelf life while maintaining the product’s quality unchanged.
