The story

About the dish

At the heart of Pizza con Mortadella e Ricotta al Tartufo Nero are black truffle, mortadella, arugula, and ricotta. The documented 48-hour leavening develops the dough’s aroma and structure in the dish. The profile moves from a woodland perfume and earthy depth in black truffle, through salt-cured depth and rounded savor in mortadella, to a fresh vegetal edge with pleasant bitterness in arugula.

Behind the dish is a craft learned at the bench and oven. UNESCO’s account of the Neapolitan pizzaiuolo tradition emphasizes knowledge shared through practice, while black truffle supplies the defining taste in the dish.
