Noli's version runs leaner and more austere: a thinner disc, a drier crumb, less of the heavy surface oil that defines the focaccia of Genoa, and a more pronounced salt-and-crust character. The dough is still pressed into a tray and dimpled, still brushed with a salt brine, but the whole thing is built closer to a plain baked flatbread than to the oil-laden Genovese style. The difference is local and deliberate, the kind of small divergence one stretch of coast holds onto for its own reasons. As a sandwich base the leaner build changes the logic. With less surface oil and a drier crumb, the *noli* does not saturate the way a Genovese round does, so it carries a moist filling better and stays firmer in the hand over a longer afternoon. The trade is that it depends more on its salt and its crust for flavor, since there is less oil doing that work, which is why a *noli* baked without enough salt or enough color on the crust tastes thin. The thinner disc also means it sets quickly and holds less heat at the center, so it rewards being eaten soon after baking, warm and plain or split with a simple cured meat or a wedge of local cheese, the way a coastal town eats the bread it makes daily rather than something assembled for an occasion. The named relatives along this coast are each a small adjustment of the same idea. The plain Genovese round is the oilier, softer reference point. The *focaccia di Voltri* pushes in the opposite direction, thinner and crisper still. The *focaccia col formaggio* of the same region is the unleavened, cheese-sealed outlier that shares only a name. Each is its own subject and deserves its own article rather than being crowded in here. --- ## More from this family Other [Focaccia](https://onesandwich.com/tag/la-focaccia/) sandwiches in Italy: - [Farinata in Panino](https://onesandwich.com/farinata-in-panino/) - [Focaccia Barese Farcita](https://onesandwich.com/focaccia-barese-farcita/) - [Focaccia Barese](https://onesandwich.com/focaccia-barese/) - [Focaccia col Formaggio](https://onesandwich.com/focaccia-col-formaggio/) - [Focaccia con le Cipolle](https://onesandwich.com/focaccia-con-le-cipolle/) - [Focaccia con le Olive](https://onesandwich.com/focaccia-con-le-olive/) - [Focaccia di Novara](https://onesandwich.com/focaccia-di-novara/) - [Focaccia di Recco con Formaggio](https://onesandwich.com/focaccia-di-recco-con-formaggio/) [See all Focaccia sandwiches 鈫抅(https://onesandwich.com/tag/la-focaccia/)
