Ancient Egyptians and Greeks used closed, domed ovens, later perfected by the Romans with <em>picea<\/em>, a seasoned flatbread. According to historical sources, pizza began to spread in Naples in the 17th century: a simple flatbread, often called <em>mastunicola<\/em>, topped with lard, garlic, and salt. This preparation represents the earliest form of Neapolitan pizza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Original Toppings<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 17th- and 18th-century Naples, pizza was food for the people. Typical toppings included:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lard and garlic: inexpensive and easily available<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Salt and oregano: added for flavor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Caciocavallo cheese: occasionally used in small amounts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Basil or other aromatic herbs: introduced over time<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These ingredients show how pizza originated as a humble food, without ingredients now considered essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Connection_with_the_Territory\"><\/span>The Connection with the Territory<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Neapolitan pizza developed in an urban context that, while not directly dedicated to cereal farming, was closely connected to the major agricultural basins of southern Italy. Naples, capital of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, historically sourced grain from fertile nearby areas, especially the Tavoliere delle Puglie, one of the main cereal-producing regions of the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before industrialization, flours came from southern grains and were stone-milled, retaining bran, germ, and mineral components. Pizza therefore emerged from the meeting of a popular city and a rich agricultural hinterland, an equilibrium between oven and field that lies at the heart of its original identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Understanding this connection means recognizing that the authenticity of Neapolitan pizza lies not only in technique, but also in its historical relationship with agricultural territories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Arrival_of_Tomato_and_the_Revolution_of_Taste\"><\/span>The Arrival of Tomato and the Revolution of Taste<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Discovery of Tomato<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tomatoes, imported from the Americas in the 16th century, long remained a botanical curiosity. Only in the 17th\u201318th centuries did they begin to be used as a topping on flatbreads. Their combination with bread dough gave rise to modern pizza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Evolution of the Recipe<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the introduction of tomato, pizza acquired a new and more complex flavor profile. Ingredients reflected Naples\u2019 role as an urban and commercial center capable of integrating raw materials from across southern Italy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tomatoes, also grown in the volcanic Vesuvian areas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Olive oil, gradually replacing lard, largely sourced from southern Italy, especially Puglia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mozzarella, initially cow\u2019s milk and later buffalo, introduced in the 18th century<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Basil, used as an aromatic and identity element<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this sense, Neapolitan pizza is not the expression of a single agricultural territory, but an urban synthesis of a broader southern supply chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"From_Mastunicola_to_Margherita\"><\/span>From <em>Mastunicola<\/em> to Margherita<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The <em>Mastunicola<\/em> Pizza<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before tomato, <em>mastunicola<\/em> was the most common variant: dough topped with lard, garlic, oregano, and cheese. This recipe demonstrates Neapolitan culinary creativity, transforming simple ingredients into popular food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pizza Margherita: Myth and Pre-existing Traditions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The famous 1889 episode involving pizzaiolo Raffaele Esposito and Queen Margherita of Savoy is often cited as the birth of modern pizza. While it certainly gave visibility to the tomato\u2013mozzarella\u2013basil combination, historical reconstructions increasingly view it as symbolic consecration rather than true origin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cheese on pizza already existed in other parts of Campania, particularly in the Lattari Mountains, such as Tramonti, where dairy availability favored the use of fresh cheeses on rustic, often whole-grain doughs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Evolution_of_Flours_From_Wholemeal_to_%E2%80%9C00%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>The Evolution of Flours: From Wholemeal to \u201c00\u201d<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flours of the Past<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the 17th and 18th centuries, flours were stone-milled, coarse, and contained bran and wheat germ. They were whole or semi-whole flours, producing darker, rustic pizzas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Origin of \u201c00\u201d Flour<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c00\u201d flour did not exist before roller mills. Technological innovation occurred in the second half of the 19th century, making it possible to isolate almost exclusively the endosperm, producing very white, fine flour. Initially a luxury product, it later became the standard of modern milling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rediscovering Rustic Flours<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In recent decades, many pizzaioli have rediscovered wholemeal and type 1 or 2 flours, closer to historical ones, richer in fiber and flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Baking_Methods_Oven_Temperature_and_Time\"><\/span>Baking Methods: Oven, Temperature, and Time<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Traditional Wood-Fired Oven<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The stone-domed wood-fired oven is the symbol of Neapolitan pizza. Using beech or oak wood, it ensures high temperatures and a distinctive aroma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Historical Temperatures and Baking Times<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Originally, ovens had no thermometers. At temperatures between 430\u00b0C and 480\u00b0C, pizza baked in just over a minute. Lower temperatures required longer baking times. This variability was an integral part of early pizza-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Modern_Standards\"><\/span>Modern Standards<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the 20th century, protection systems such as AVPN and <a href=\"https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/EN\/legal-content\/summary\/traditional-specialities-guaranteed.html\">STG <\/a>established precise technical standards, focusing on method rather than ingredient origin. While ensuring consistency, they simplify the historical variability of early pizza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Territory_and_Authenticity\"><\/span>Territory and Authenticity<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Neapolitan pizza is not merely a replicable method, but a heritage tied to territory, history, and agriculture. True authenticity lies in historical awareness and ingredient choices consistent with the land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"eViva_Flours_A_Return_to_Origins\"><\/span>\u00e8Viva Flours: A Return to Origins<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Neapolitan pizza was historically made with semi-whole flours from southern grains, often stone-milled. \u00e8Viva flours follow this agricultural matrix, using exclusively grains grown in the Tavoliere delle Puglie, processed artisanally without additives or corrections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choosing our flours means embracing natural variability as value. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.agricolapiano.com\/en\/113-natural-flour\">Discover \u00e8Viva flours<\/a> in our online shop and bring the true taste of Neapolitan pizza to your table.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Neapolitan pizza is much more than a simple food: it represents the cultural and gastronomic heritage of Naples, a dish born from humble traditions that has become a global icon.
