Test your knowledge on the iconic, oven-fired pizza from Naples, a culinary tradition recognized as a Traditional Speciality Guaranteed product in the EU and by UNESCO for its art of making.
Neapolitan pizza emerged in Naples as a simple, affordable food in the 18th century, with its linguistic roots tracing back to the year 997 AD. The iconic Pizza Margherita, featuring tomato, mozzarella, and basil, is traditionally attributed to pizzaiolo Raffaele Esposito, who prepared it in 1889 for Queen Margherita of Savoy, with its colors famously representing the Italian flag. This culinary tradition evolved from flatbreads consumed by the working class, becoming a staple of Neapolitan street food.
The authenticity of Neapolitan pizza is formally protected by European Union law, having been recognized as a Traditional Speciality Guaranteed (TSG) product on February 5, 2010. This designation mandates adherence to specific ingredient and preparation standards, including the use of particular flours, tomatoes, and mozzarella, hand-kneading, and baking in a wood-fired oven at 430-485°C for 60-90 seconds. Furthermore, the "Art of the Neapolitan Pizzaiuolo" was inscribed on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity on December 7, 2017, acknowledging the craft and cultural practice of its makers.
