The Recco Focaccia Festival is a tasty feast that honors the typical product of the town of Recco, the focaccia bread. All around the town there are several free distribution points of focaccia simple or with onions, as well as bakeries members of the Consortium "Focaccia col formaggio di Recco" who open their ovens for the occasion.

All of them offer demonstrations on the streets of the work of "focacciai", the live preparation of authentic focaccia di Recco stuffed with local cheese, baked, cooked and offered to visitors.

Scents of pasta, crescenza cheese and pastry are all around the city and delight the palate of the tourists.

The Consortium, which includes 19 companies and 24 sales outlets, includes members who produce this delicacy following strict production rules, located between the towns of Avegno, Camogli and Sori, and carefully preserve the ancient recipe of the focaccia bread.

Music, games, entertainment and focaccia are offered throughout the day to all those greedy and curious about the Recco Focaccia Festival.
