Recco is a large village in the Province of Genoa in Liguria. Recco is considered a gastronomical city because of its delightful cuisine, with some of the most famous restaurants in the area located here (tipical is its focaccia with cheese). On 7-8 September, the city holds a famous fireworks festival in honor of their patron saint.
Recco is one of the happiest places in Liguria, as long as you think that every 7-8 september all the little city is paralyzed by stalls, crackers and fireworks in a very great style, organized by each of the several districts that, through a popular jury, compete for the best title for the best fireworks show. It's a very ancient tradition in Recco. Recco is the home of focaccia di recco, sometimes called focaccia col formaggio or even just Recco, a concoction that is popular throughout Liguria and elsewhere in North of Italy. And with good reason: it's absolutely delicious.
The focaccia is more like pizza than other focaccia, so the name is slightly misleading. It consists of very thin bread sandwiching a fresh, soft cheese called stracchino* (also crescenza), which has a very individual flavour and texture. The whole lot is baked in the same way as a pizza and comes out crispy on the edges and deliciously soft and gooey in the centre. |
Recco is about 10 Km from the B&B.
