Discover the Authenticity of Il Fornaio’s Ciabatta Range

Ciabatta, an iconic Italian white bread, is found across Italy with regional variations. The word “ciabatta” means “slipper” due to its shape. At IL FORNAIO, our Ciabatta and Panini are crafted using the finest ingredients and an authentic family recipe. The dough undergoes a 24-hour fermentation, where olive oil infuses with yeast and wheat, followed by a proving stage to trap gas bubbles. Finally, we stone-bake the dough for a light crumb and crispy crust.

Our Ciabatta and Panini come in various shapes and sizes, including rolls, slipper, stirata, baguette, and loaf. We offer Mediterranean ingredients like sundried tomatoes, olives, peppers, figs, and mixed herbs to enhance flavor.

IL FORNAIO crafts both traditional hand-formed and machine-cut Ciabattas and Paninis to meet specific client needs, ensuring versatility for hot or cold applications, microwave compatibility, and chill chain requirements. We work closely with clients on custom briefs or seasonal concepts.

Introducing Il Fornaio’s Focaccia Range

Il Fornaio’s Focaccia range is available in various sizes and flavours, inspired by popular taste profiles from around the world. Whether you need a specific shape or size, we work closely with clients to meet their requirements. Our Focaccias can be enjoyed hot or cold, are microwave compatible, and can be stored in the chiller.

Focaccia, a beloved Mediterranean classic, has been tantalising taste buds for centuries. This traditional Italian flatbread, made with yeast and olive oil, traces its origins back to ancient times.

Il Fornaio’s Focaccia is crafted using a traditional recipe method, blending premium quality ingredients with our family’s treasured recipe. The dough is kneaded and allowed to rest, then hand-shaped by our skilled bakers to create the characteristic dimpled texture.

After baking, our Focaccia is finished with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, enhancing its golden crust and aroma. Our Focaccias can be crafted by hand for a traditional look or machine-cut for a uniform appearance.

We’re always eager to discuss your requirements and develop a tailored solution that goes beyond your expectations.
