About Cheese focaccia

Cheese focaccia is a type of Italian bread originating from Liguria, typically topped with cheese and herbs. This flatbread is made primarily from wheat flour, yeast, olive oil, and water, with variations including cheeses like mozzarella, Parmesan, or ricotta. Rich in carbohydrates, it provides energy, while the cheese offers protein and calcium. Olive oil contributes healthy fats, making it a flavorful option. However, cheese focaccia is moderate to high in calories and sodium due to the cheese and oil content, so it is ideally consumed in controlled portions within a balanced diet.

What is the recommended serving size for cheese focaccia?

The recommended serving size for cheese focaccia is usually one slice, or around 100-120g. This portion provides a balanced amount of energy while avoiding excessive calorie intake. Pair it with a side salad or protein-rich foods for a well-rounded meal.

How does cheese focaccia compare to plain focaccia?
