These artisanal-style Italian breads feature a signature crisp crust and light, open crumb — providing the perfect base for cold fillings, toasted applications, or premium table service.

Mediterranean-Inspired Pairings

Elevate the eating experience with bold, flavourful ingredients that pair beautifully with the rustic character of our Ciabatta and Panini breads:

Sundried Tomatoes – for tangy sweetness
Black & Green Olives – for a rich, savoury edge
Peppers – for vibrant colour and crunch
Figs – for a sweet and earthy contrast
Mixed Herbs – for aromatic freshness

Focaccia by IL FORNAIO: Traditional Craft, Custom Solutions

IL FORNAIO’s Focaccia range is inspired by the rich heritage of Mediterranean baking and crafted to suit the needs of modern foodservice, retail, and private label partners. Available in a variety of shapes, sizes, and flavour profiles, our Focaccias offer flexibility without compromising on tradition or quality.

Whether enjoyed hot or cold, our Focaccia is microwave-friendly, chiller-stable, and ready to meet a wide range of culinary applications — from grab-and-go sandwiches to deli counter offerings.

Crafted with Care and Authenticity

Our Focaccia is made using a time-tested Italian recipe, blending premium ingredients with traditional techniques. Each batch of dough is carefully kneaded, rested, and hand-shaped to achieve the signature dimpled texture and airy interior that define this classic flatbread.

After baking, it’s finished with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil — enhancing the golden crust, aroma, and authentic flavour profile.

We offer both hand-crafted Focaccias for a rustic, artisanal appearance, and machine-cut formats for a more uniform presentation, depending on your brand’s needs.

Crafted Without Compromise: Vegan Brioche by IL FORNAIO

IL FORNAIO’s Vegan Brioche range brings together classic French-inspired baking and modern dietary preferences. Soft, rich, and beautifully golden, our vegan brioche products are crafted to deliver indulgent taste and premium performance — without the use of dairy or eggs.

Our range includes a variety of formats and flavour profiles to suit every sector and occasion:

Mini sliders and Parisienne cups for bite-sized indulgence
Larger formats with various enrichments, blends, and original flavours
Options with adjusted sugar and salt levels to meet specific nutritional goals
Customisable doughs with mixed fruit inclusions for added depth and sweetness

Baked for Versatility and Impact

Inspired by traditional French brioche, our vegan recipes feature a tender crumb and a rich, golden crust — offering both visual appeal and exceptional flavour. Every loaf or roll can be further customised with toppings such as seeds, grains, or other popular finishes to suit your brand or menu requirements.

Whether you’re creating premium plant-based sandwiches, luxury buns, or bakery counter staples, Il Fornaio’s Vegan Brioche range offers both flexibility and flavour — with none of the compromise.
