The story

About the dish

At the heart of Pizza con Fontina, Speck, Asparagi e Uovo are asparagus, fontina, speck, and ham. The documented 48-hour leavening develops the dough’s aroma and structure in the dish. It lets asparagus bring a fresh vegetal edge with pleasant bitterness; fontina bring a savory, gently tangy cheese note; speck bring salt-cured depth and rounded savor.

It shows why pizza is more than a formula: UNESCO recognizes the Neapolitan pizzaiuolo tradition as a community practice transmitted through skilled gestures. Here, asparagus makes that craft tangible at the table.
