The story

About the dish

Squacquerone, mortadella, arugula, and pistachios form the flavor foundation of Pizza con Mortadella, Squacquerone, Rucola e Pistacchio. The documented 48-hour leavening develops the dough’s aroma and structure in the dish. It lets squacquerone bring soft, fresh dairy richness; mortadella bring salt-cured depth and rounded savor; arugula bring a fresh vegetal edge with pleasant bitterness.

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 squacquerone supplies the defining taste in the dish.
