Focaccia is made with a very soft dough, slightly rich from generous amounts of added oil that helps it become crisp-edged as it bakes. As I was working on this recipe, Netflix’s “Salt Fat Acid Heat” premiered, and suddenly making focaccia felt particularly timely.

In Samin Nostrat’s excellent, highly acclaimed series about the fundamental elements of making good food, she invites the viewer to learn how to make Ligurian focaccia. In Liguria, Italy, they add the unique step of topping the focaccia with a salt brine before baking the dough. I was captivated by the simplicity and beauty of the focaccia making process, and have rewatched that part of the “FAT” episode countless times.

While the focaccia recipe here differs from its Ligurian counterpart, the essential components are the same, and the lessons learned from Nostrat are helpfully applicable. Primarily, one is reminded that when a recipe has so few ingredients, each ingredient should be of good quality.

Focaccia requires extra-virgin olive oil, and that olive oil should be good, fresh and have a robust flavor. Choosing the olive oil can be a matter of preference. I’m partial to California olive oils with their smooth butteriness; high quality affordable varieties can be found in most grocery stores. You could also splurge on an Italian olive oil from a specialty market. The olive oil will help your focaccia get a crisp crust, and it will perfume the dough with its flavor.

I like using kalamata olives in this recipe for their fruity wine-like flavor, but you could certainly use your favorite olive variety. The olives serve to accentuate the flavors in the oil, and the dough also gets topped with za’atar to bring a welcome herby earthyness to this rich bread. Just before putting it in the oven, I top the focaccia with flake salt for crunch and savoriness. After oil, salt is focaccia’s best friend.

I love to serve this olive and za’atar bread with an Israeli-style spread: fresh salads, good feta, hummus and baba ganoush. Leftover focaccia is always a gift, and it can be turned into delicious croutons, stored in the freezer for future snacking, or it can even become the base of an unexpected Middle Eastern-inspired stuffing. Thanksgiving is around the corner, after all. Soon after Thanksgiving is Hanukkah, which provides another opportunity for this oil-centric recipe.

Notes:

The dough needs to chill in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours, or up to 48 hours. It then needs to rise for 2-4 hours on the baking sheet before baking.

The cooked focaccia freezes well.

Hi! Hope I'm using this right, haven't really used this lol. Question: can you tell us about ways your world's geography has shaped it's people and politics?

M: Oh, that's a fun one to answer!

M: First, my home, the United Islands.

M: The peninsula is protected by a mountain range and a desert and the waters are hostile to those not skilled with ships. This meant the nine islands and the peninsula were left to grow relatively undisturbed, except by each other, to which there was a lot of cultural mixing and trade.

So, my homeland is essentially 10 former kingdoms united under one banner.

We're an agriculture and trade power, with a specialty in goods like wine, oil, wool, and especially salt. With some of the best sailors in the world.

M: Next, the Jungle of Flowers to the northwest.

M: They're culture developed in a lush jungle clinging to the coast, backed by a mighty inland sea.

From my understanding, certain common infections cause low birth rate, which allowed women to claim power as the ones who can give birth, thus forming a matriarchal monarchy.

Their tropical climate makes them our main source of rare fruits and woods, as well as leather and furs. They also conflict a lot with smaller kingdoms and tribes to the west for access to the coast and ports.

M: The Twin Kingdoms are also interesting.

M: They're mostly isolated to the far northwest, on a frigid island with very few large land predators. The narrow stretch of land used to mark the border between two kingdoms, the Highlands and the Lowlands. They united under one king in the last 200 years or so to be more assertive in global trade, but the tension between the two groups were… palpable when I was there.

They're predominantly herdsman and fishermen, and they mostly serve as a stop between the Jungle of Flowers and the north east

M: The Golden River is actually where my husband's family is from.

M: They live in the desert, who built their living around the mouth of what I believe the largest river in the world. They're actually a lot of smaller kingdoms who all answer to a single religious leader, who's temple sits at the mouth of the river spilling out in the ocean.

They don't actually take money like most other places I've visted, being mostly trade based, and water being the signifier of wealth. However, they sit on a seemingly endless network of gold mines that they happily trade the rest of the world for, along with beautiful glassworks.

All of the kingdoms are in conflict with each other to some degree, all trying to get more sway over water sources and to become the next leader.

M: The Volcanic Steppe was one of the strangest places I visited.

M: They're lands consist of two islands, the western one consisting of very fertile farming land, a mountain range, and a massive volcano. The eastern island has two more groups, the nomadic herders of the steppe, and the mercantile bullwork on the southern coast. The three groups seem to be in a sort of symbiotic relationship to each other, although none seem to trust the other too much.

They don't have much in terms of a centralized government, with the two sedentary societies communicating with each other mutually, and the steppe people electing a kind of king among all of the nomadic tribes' chiefs. This king communicates with the other two societies.

They seem mostly interested in selling their magnificent horses, along with animal fats, leather, and volcanic glass.

M: The Silken Delta was the last place I lived in long term before coming home.

M: They live on a smaller peninsula, consistently rich with fertile soil from the many rivers and deltas flooding and receding every year. They're a confederation of states, separated by rivers, with each state sending a representative to their central council at the tip of the peninsula.

They actually recently finished, and won, a major war with a mountain kingdom to the north, and they're enjoying the spoils. They're hungry to get back in the market, as I think they see the United Islands and economic rivals. Their cloth is something to die for, as are their spices and herbs.

M: I can go into much more detail on any of these lands if you have any follow up questions, but that's the overview.

Confectionery Raw Materials: The Foundation of Sweet Creations

The confectionery industry thrives on the creativity and precision of its products, from luscious chocolates to delightful candies. Behind every sweet indulgence lies a selection of high-quality confectionery raw materials. These materials serve as the building blocks for crafting exceptional treats, ensuring consistency, flavor, and visual appeal. Let’s explore the essential ingredients and their critical roles in confectionery production.

Key Confectionery Raw Materials

Cocoa Products Cocoa is at the heart of many confectioneries, offering both flavor and structure. Cocoa beans, cocoa butter, cocoa powder, and cocoa liquor are indispensable ingredients for chocolates and baked goods. High-quality cocoa products provide the rich taste and texture that consumers associate with premium treats.

Sugar and Sweeteners Sugar is a cornerstone of confectionery, imparting sweetness and contributing to texture and shelf life. Alternative sweeteners, such as stevia or maltitol, cater to the demand for sugar-free or reduced-sugar options, broadening the appeal of confectionery products.

Dairy Products Milk powder, butter, and cream are used to create smooth textures and enhance flavors in products like milk chocolates, toffees, and caramels. These ingredients are crucial for achieving the creamy consistency that many confectionery items require.

Fats and Oils Specialty fats, including cocoa butter equivalents and vegetable oils, play a vital role in achieving the desired mouthfeel and stability in chocolates and other confections. These fats are carefully selected to align with production requirements, such as melting points and texture.

Flavorings and Additives Natural and artificial flavorings, such as vanilla, fruit extracts, and spices, bring depth and variety to confectionery products. Additives like emulsifiers and stabilizers ensure consistency, while food colorings enhance visual appeal.

Nuts, Fruits, and Inclusions Almonds, hazelnuts, dried fruits, and other inclusions add texture and flavor to confections. These ingredients cater to diverse consumer preferences and elevate the sensory experience of the final product.

The Role of High-Quality Raw Materials

The quality of confectionery raw materials directly impacts the taste, texture, and shelf life of the final product. Premium materials ensure that the confectionery meets industry standards and satisfies consumer expectations. Producers who prioritize quality are more likely to retain customer loyalty and succeed in competitive markets.

Sustainability in Sourcing Raw Materials

As consumers increasingly seek ethical and sustainable products, the confectionery industry is focusing on responsible sourcing of raw materials. Cocoa, sugar, and nuts sourced through fair trade or sustainable farming practices align with consumer values while supporting the livelihoods of farmers.

Partnering with Reliable Suppliers

The success of any confectionery business depends on its access to consistent, high-quality raw materials. Partnering with trusted suppliers ensures a steady supply chain and adherence to global standards.

Innovating with Confectionery Raw Materials

Advancements in food technology are driving innovation in confectionery raw materials. Ingredients like plant-based dairy alternatives and sugar substitutes enable producers to cater to health-conscious and vegan consumers without compromising taste or quality.

At Tradehub FZ LLC, we understand the importance of premium confectionery raw materials in crafting exceptional products. Our wide range of high-quality ingredients supports manufacturers in meeting diverse market demands. From cocoa to specialty fats, we provide the essentials for sweet success.

The Palm Oil Industry in Singapore: An Overview

The palm oil industry plays a significant role in the global agricultural landscape, and Singapore is home to some of the largest companies involved in this BOY303 sector. With its strategic location and robust infrastructure, Singapore serves as a key hub for palm oil trading, processing, and investment. This article explores the major players in the palm oil industry in Singapore, their operations, and the challenges they face.

Major Companies in Singapore's Palm Oil Sector

Wilmar International Limited: Founded in 1991, Wilmar International is one of Asia's leading agribusiness groups and a major player in the palm oil industry. The company is involved in various activities, including oil palm cultivation, edible oils refining, oilseeds crushing, and the production of specialty fats and biodiesel. With over 300 subsidiary companies and more than 500 manufacturing plants worldwide, Wilmar has established a vast distribution network that spans across BOY303 Asia and beyond. Despite its success, Wilmar has faced criticism for its labor practices and environmental impact, including allegations of child labor and deforestation.

Musim Mas Group: Although primarily based in Indonesia, Musim Mas has a significant presence in Singapore and operates globally in the palm oil industry. The company is involved in the entire supply chain, from palm oil cultivation to processing and trading. Musim Mas is committed to sustainable practices and has implemented various initiatives to reduce its environmental footprint. However, like many companies in the industry, it faces scrutiny over its impact on deforestation and local communities.

The Role of Singapore in the Palm Oil Trade

Singapore's strategic location as a trading hub in Southeast Asia makes it an ideal center for palm oil operations. The country serves as a key point for the import, export, and processing of palm oil products. The Singapore Exchange (SGX) also facilitates trading in palm oil futures, providing a platform for price discovery and risk management for market participants.

The palm oil industry in Singapore contributes significantly to the economy, generating employment and supporting related sectors such as logistics, finance, and manufacturing. The country's advanced infrastructure and business-friendly environment attract foreign investment, further strengthening its position in the global palm oil market.

Challenges Facing the Palm Oil Industry

Despite its economic significance, the palm oil industry faces several challenges, including:

Environmental Concerns: The expansion of palm oil plantations has been linked to deforestation, loss of biodiversity, and greenhouse gas emissions. Environmental organizations have raised concerns about the industry's impact on tropical ecosystems and climate change.

Human Rights Issues: The palm oil sector has been criticized for labor practices, including allegations of child labor, forced labor, and unsafe working conditions. Companies like Wilmar International have faced backlash for these issues, prompting calls for greater transparency and accountability.

Sustainability Initiatives: In response to growing concerns, various organizations, such as the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), have been established to promote sustainable practices in the industry. However, the effectiveness of these initiatives has been questioned, with some critics labeling them as "greenwashing."

Conclusion

The palm oil industry in Singapore is a vital component of the global agribusiness landscape, with major companies like Wilmar International and Musim Mas leading the way. While the industry contributes to economic growth and job creation, it also faces significant challenges related to environmental sustainability and human rights. As the demand for palm oil continues to rise, it is essential for companies and stakeholders to prioritize ethical practices and sustainable development to ensure a responsible future for the industry.

Exploring the Specialty Food Ingredients Market: Innovations and Consumer Demands

The global specialty food ingredients market was valued at USD 101.9 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2% from 2024 to 2030. This growth is being primarily driven by the expanding application of specialty food ingredients across key industries such as food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, and personal care, along with the increasing reach of organized retail and e-commerce globally.

Specialty food ingredients play a crucial role in the food production process by performing various functions, such as preserving, texturizing, emulsifying, coloring, and adding nutritional value. These ingredients help create the wide array of processed foods available today. They encompass both micro-ingredients (such as vitamins, minerals, enzymes) and macro-ingredients (such as specific proteins, fats, carbohydrates, fibers, and other substances). In recent years, there has been a growing demand for products that are free from artificial additives and ingredients, prompting the rise of clean-label ingredients that use simple, natural components. This trend reflects a broader shift toward healthier, more transparent food options, further driving the growth of the specialty food ingredients market.

The demand for functional food items is also growing, driven by increasing consumer awareness around health and wellness. As consumers become more mindful of their eating habits, there is a greater interest in ingredients that offer health benefits beyond basic nutrition, such as those that support digestion, boost immunity, or improve overall well-being. This shift is influencing both consumer preferences and manufacturers’ ingredient selections, further fueling the market for specialty food ingredients.

Application Segmentation Insights

Food and Beverage Industry: The food and beverage segment held the largest market share, accounting for approximately 70% of the total revenue in 2023. This dominance is driven by evolving consumer lifestyles and food preferences, which have led to a surge in the demand for processed foods.

This has resulted in increased demand for natural specialty ingredients such as plant-based oils, vitamins, and antioxidants, which are being incorporated into skincare, haircare, and cosmetic products.

Focaccia is made with a very soft dough, slightly rich from generous amounts of added oil that helps it become crisp-edged as it bakes. As I was working on this recipe, Netflix’s Salt Fat Acid Heat premiered, and suddenly making focaccia felt particularly timely.

In Samin Nostrat’s excellent, highly acclaimed series about the fundamental elements of making good food, she invites the viewer to learn how to make Ligurian focaccia. In Liguria, Italy, they add the unique step of topping the focaccia with a salt brine before baking the dough. I was captivated by the simplicity and beauty of the focaccia making process, and have rewatched that part of the “FAT” episode countless times.

While the focaccia recipe here differs from its Ligurian counterpart, the essential components are the same, and the lessons learned from Nostrat are helpfully applicable. Primarily, one is reminded that when a recipe has so few ingredients, each ingredient should be of good quality. Focaccia requires extra virgin olive oil, and that olive oil should be good, fresh, and have a robust flavor. Choosing the olive oil can be a matter of preference. I’m partial to California olive oils with their smooth butteriness; high quality affordable varieties can be found in most grocery stores. You could also splurge on an Italian olive oil from a specialty market. The olive oil will help your focaccia get a crisp crust, and it will perfume the dough with its flavor. I like using kalamata olives in this recipe for their fruity wine-like flavor, but you could certainly use your favorite olive variety. The olives serve to accentuate the flavors in the oil, and the dough also gets topped with za’atar to bring a welcome herby earthyness to this rich bread. Just before putting it in the oven, I top the focaccia with flake salt for crunch and savoriness. After oil, salt is focaccia’s best friend.

I love to serve this olive and za’atar bread with an Israeli-style spread: fresh salads, good feta, hummus, and baba ganoush. Leftover focaccia is always a gift, and it can be turned into delicious croutons, stored in the freezer for future snacking, or it can even become the base of an unexpected Middle Eastern inspired stuffing. Thanksgiving is around the corner, after all. Soon after Thanksgiving is Hanukkah, which provides another opportunity for this oil-centric recipe.
