Jalapeno & Cheddar Focaccia by Good Folks

Tasting notes of the Curator

The Jalapeño & Cheddar Focaccia is where indulgence meets adventure. Good Folks take their signature olive oil–rich dough and elevate it with cheddar’s creamy sharpness and the lively heat of jalapeño peppers. The result is a golden-crusted loaf that teases the palate with a smoky, spicy bite tempered by melted cheese pockets. The crumb remains airy and tender, infused with bursts of flavor from both the cheese and peppers. Every slice delivers a satisfying contrast—the rustic comfort of focaccia balanced by a daring kick. It is bread that wakes up the senses, ideal for those who enjoy flavors that are both comforting and exciting. This is no ordinary focaccia; it is a testament to how a simple Roman classic can evolve into a vibrant loaf for modern tastes.

You may avail of the focaccias:

• Fresh (on next day delivery) - Available for Metro Manila clients only. Not ideal for long-haul deliveries as fresh foccacia that takes more than a day as it will not be in its best quality.
• Frozen (on 48 hr delivery) - Available for all locations and most ideal for Nationwide clients. Frozen focaccia will last the long-haul travel and is even ideal for long-term storage.

If you are a nationwide client, kindly choose Frozen.

Fire Meets Comfort

What began as a Roman memory has blossomed into creations that speak to today’s tables, where spice meets indulgence and every loaf carries a story of passion turned into tradition.

Storage Instructions

Best enjoyed fresh on the day of delivery. To store, keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, wrap well and freeze.

Reheating: From frozen, thaw first, then lightly mist with water and heat in a pre-heated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 8–10 minutes, according to preference.

Tip: If you know you’ll be storing the focaccia in the freezer for a long time, cut it into desired serving sizes before wrapping in saran or foil. This way, you only reheat the portions you need.
