Of all the memorable loaves of bread that have come from the Culinary Vegetable Institute kitchen, no other has been so widely beloved as Dario's Focaccia. It is a gratifying marriage of crispy crust, chewy crumb, and incredible aroma. Loaves are easy to produce and even easier to consume.

The dry mix contained in this box will make a versatile dough that takes well to topping both prior and post-baking. As a result, it can be as expressive as you are willing to be. It shapes well into rustic batards and stretches beautifully for something closer to ciabatta. It will also work well for pan and wood-fired type pizzas.

Of course, and most easily of all, this dry mix will produce Dario's Focaccia.

Meet Chef Dario

Chef Dario Torres first learned cooking skills from his grandmother who took care of him and his sister until he was fourteen while their parents worked to offer their children a better life. Even though he enjoyed cooking, he wasn't sure he wanted to be a chef. He had dreams of becoming a scientist or an engineer because of his love of science and math until he caught an episode of Master Chef on The Discovery Channel and his whole world was turned upside down. 

Our talented team brainstormed the idea of signature marmalades as part of a process to reduce food waste—with a result that’s deliciously creative. In collaboration with Prospect Jam Company, an artisan marmalade company in Ohio we've created a collection marmalades, jams and jellies that contain ingredients that are regeneratively farmed with love at The Chef’s Garden for the maximum in flavor and nutrition.

Pepper Marmalade 

Our Pepper Marmalade is deliciously simple, featuring a colorful confetti of sweet peppers that also makes this one a visual treat. Enjoy the marvelous flavor of sweet peppers captured in a jar.
