THE FACILITATOR
Ashley Napoli
One day, while just “playing around” baking sourdough bread, Ashley was inspired to create sourdough focaccia. Naturally artistic, she embellished her new product with various floral touches to create unique designs and… voila! Much to her surprise and delight, there was huge demand for her fanciful focaccia and how she makes it; focaccia classes became the natural path for her uniquely tasty brand. Thus began the journey of the Focaccia Flourist. “Everything started with making focaccia for friends, then progressed to custom design orders, having a booth at events, pairing my bread with wine at Whitecliff Vineyard, and teaching classes at different locations in the Hudson Valley.”
