Focaccia di Recco col formaggio is two sheets of unleavened dough stretched almost transparent, filled with fresh crescenza and baked minutes in a very hot oven, the IGP speciality of Recco east of Genoa.
The Recco consortium traces a cheese focaccia back to the time of the Third Crusade, and local tradition says villagers fleeing Saracen raids first baked dough and cheese together. Trattorie in Recco served it for All Souls' Day from the late 1800s, the Consorzio Recco Gastronomica formed in 1985, and the European Union registered Focaccia di Recco col formaggio as an IGP in 2015, limited to Recco, Sori, Avegno and Camogli.
