ORIGIN
Of Pizza
Pizza originated in Naples, Italy, in the 18th century, where it was an affordable food for labourers. The combination of bread dough, tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese quickly won over palates. Over time, it became a versatile dish, adopted all over the world, with different toppings and styles, reflecting the local culture. Today, pizza is a symbol of global gastronomy, uniting flavours and traditions in every slice.
THE TRADITIONAL
Dough Recipe
Traditional Italian pizza dough, known as ‘impasto,’ is made with simple ingredients: wheat flour, water, salt and yeast. The secret lies in the quality of the flour and the method of preparation. The dough is kneaded until smooth and elastic, then left to ferment for several hours, developing flavour and texture. After fermentation, it is shaped by hand, ensuring a thin, light crust. The result is a perfect base that goes well with a variety of toppings and is fundamental to the authentic Neapolitan pizza experience.
