Neapolitan cuisine
Neapolitan cuisine is the culinary tradition of Naples, a city located in the southern region of Italy. This cuisine is known for its simplicity, focusing on high-quality, fresh ingredients. The dishes are often rich in taste and have a strong connection to the history and culture of Naples.
History
Neapolitan cuisine has its roots in the ancient Greek and Roman civilizations, which influenced the region's culinary traditions. The cuisine evolved over centuries, incorporating elements from the various cultures that ruled Naples, including the Spanish, French, and Arabs. The introduction of new ingredients such as tomatoes, potatoes, and peppers from the New World in the 16th century had a significant impact on Neapolitan cuisine.
Ingredients
The primary ingredients in Neapolitan cuisine are locally sourced from the fertile region of Campania. These include tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, basil, mozzarella, and seafood. The region is also known for its production of wine, particularly Lacryma Christi and Aglianico.
Dishes
Neapolitan cuisine is famous for its pizza, specifically Neapolitan pizza, which is characterized by a thin and soft crust, topped with tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, and olive oil. Other notable dishes include Spaghetti alle vongole (spaghetti with clams), Ragu Napoletano (a slow-cooked meat sauce), and Baba (a rum-soaked cake).
Influence
Neapolitan cuisine has had a significant influence on Italian cuisine as a whole. The Neapolitan pizza, in particular, has gained worldwide recognition and is now a staple in many countries outside Italy.
