Focaccia's origins are ancient, likely dating back to the Etruscans or early Romans. Stracchino cheese, a soft, creamy cheese, originated in Lombardy. Rocket, or arugula, has been enjoyed in Italy for centuries. The combination of these ingredients into a filled focaccia is a more modern adaptation, reflecting regional culinary traditions and preferences for fresh, simple flavors.

Freshness is Key
Use the freshest possible ingredients, especially the rocket and Stracchino cheese. Freshly baked focaccia is always preferable.
Quality Stracchino
Opt for a high-quality Stracchino cheese. Look for a cheese that is creamy, slightly tangy, and not too watery. Avoid substitutes if possible for the best flavor.
Focaccia Texture
The focaccia should be soft and airy on the inside, with a slightly crisp and golden crust. Avoid focaccia that is too dry or dense.
Rocket Preparation
Wash and thoroughly dry the rocket before assembling the focaccia. This will prevent the focaccia from becoming soggy.
