Focaccia di Recco col formaggio

Recognized by the European Union since 2012, Focaccia di Recco col formaggio IGP represents an incredibly localized culinary designation within Liguria. Unlike neighboring regional specialties that span entire provinces, this protected geographical indication limits its legal production to a strict zone of just four specific municipalities: Avegno, Camogli, Recco, and Sori. A striking administrative anomaly distinguishes this specific designation from others in the region: despite over a decade of official recognition, official registry data lists exactly zero verified producers actively certified under the denomination. This status sets the Ligurian specialty apart as a highly protected zone without any active commercial registrants.
