produttori — Bussana · Liguria
In the hills behind Imperia, in Bussana, an artisan workshop turns the ingredients of the Ligurian Riviera into pizzas, focaccias and pastries with a distinct character. Everything starts with the raw ingredient; the rest is technique and daily care.
On the counter of the central workshop in Bussana lie the ingredients that Liguria offers: local olive oil, flour, aromatic herbs, cheese and chard. These are the starting point of every dough, chosen for their coherence with a tradition that runs deep in this province, with its precise flavours.
The hands working the dough follow a rhythm that blends age-old gesture with contemporary technique. The range — pizzas, focaccias, pastries, croissants — comes from a carefully tended leavening process and an artisan knowledge that cannot be delegated: every piece leaves the workshop as the result of a considered process, not a production line.
On the shelf sit the fragrant pizza al taglio (pizza by the slice), the Sardenaira — the traditional focaccia of the Imperia area that customers describe as home-made — the torta verde (savoury chard tart), and the morning croissants. A repertoire recognised by the 50 Top Pizza guide among the establishments that showcase Ligurian specialities with an authentic approach.
Three outlets across the province — Ventimiglia, Sanremo, Arma di Taggia — and supply for restaurants. The page tells the full story.
