The Pillars of Campania’s Gastronomy

Campanian cuisine is a true sensory journey through authentic flavors and high-quality ingredients. Among the undisputed stars are:

1. Neapolitan Pizza: A UNESCO Intangible Heritage, pizza is one of Campania’s most recognizable symbols. Its simplicity, with ingredients like San Marzano tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, and fresh basil, wins over palates worldwide.

2. Buffalo Mozzarella DOP: This unique dairy product is a burst of flavor and creaminess, ideal both on its own and as an ingredient in refined dishes.

3. San Marzano Tomato: A key ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine, the San Marzano tomato is known for its sweetness and intense flavor.

4. Traditional Sweets: Sfogliatella, babà, and pastiera are just a few of the delights that make Campania’s pastry tradition famous worldwide.

The Richness of the Territory

What makes Campanian cuisine so extraordinary is the variety of its territory, offering an endless range of fresh and genuine ingredients. From the coasts of the Sorrento Peninsula, with its fragrant lemons, to the hills of Irpinia, home to fine wines like Taurasi, every corner of the region contributes to creating a unique culinary experience.
