The story

About the dish

Pizza con Zucca, Pancetta Piacentina e Ricotta Affumicata draws its character from smoked ricotta, mozzarella, pancetta, and pumpkin. The documented 48-hour leavening develops the dough’s aroma and structure in the dish. The profile moves from soft, fresh dairy richness in smoked ricotta and mozzarella to salt-cured depth and rounded savor in pancetta.

It opens a window onto Italy’s Food Valley, where filled pasta, long-cooked sauces, cured meats and aged cheeses carry strong local identities. In the dish, smoked ricotta contributes soft, fresh dairy richness, giving that cultural setting a sensory anchor.
