Focaccia Bread with Roasted Tomato & Parmesan

Let's take a moment to focus on Focaccia - which, as it turns out, is a pretty etymologically appropriate thing to do! The Italian word focaccia is derived from the original Latin word focus, which referred to the central hearth of a home, where the majority of a family's cooking was done.

Indeed, by definition, focaccia (or panis focacius, as the Romans called it) was associated with the warmth and comfort of home from the very start. In that same tradition, we're setting our focus on the warmth and comfort of this soft, savory bread with Trader Joe's Focaccia Bread with Roasted Tomato & Parmesan.

Harkening back to its Ancient Roman roots, Trader Joe's Focaccia Bread is baked on a heated tile inside of a blazing hot, stone hearth oven. These conditions allow the bread to form the crisp, light crust and soft, airy crumb texture that focaccia is famous for.

Our supplier also upholds an equally important (and delicious) tradition by topping each loaf with extra virgin olive oil, aromatic herbs, flavorful roasted tomatoes, and a generous dusting of finely-grated Parmesan cheese. Put together, each bite is a marvelous mix of iconic Italian flavors, perfect for serving alongside pasta, dipping into a mixture of olive oil and TJ's Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, or slicing and lightly toasting for use in sandwiches.
