Ciao il pomodoro di Napoli sponsor del Pizza Village

Dal 17 al 26 giugno Ciao – il pomodoro di Napoli sarà ancora una volta uno dei protagonisti principali del Napoli Pizza Village come brand sponsor della manifestazione. Si prospetta un’edizione 2022 all’insegna della voglia di stare insieme e della cultura della mediterraneità. Ecco cosa accadrà!

Ciao il pomodoro di Napoli riparte dalla città della pizza per dare centralità all’arte del pizzaiolo, patrimonio immateriale dell’umanità e da sempre focus della sua vision.

E proprio Napoli e il Pizza Village saranno l’occasione per mostrare al mondo le novità del 2022. Del resto ogni anno più di 1 milione di visitatori  riempiono il lungomare partenopeo nei giorni della kermesse.

Cosa accadrà?

Per prima cosa sarà dato grande spazio al nuovo look e al nuovo logo che rendono sempre più al passo coi tempi l’amore per la tradizione che caratterizza la filosofia di Ciao – il pomodoro di Napoli.

L’altra novità è la sempre maggiore attenzione del brand alla sana alimentazione e alla dieta mediterranea , frutto di una green policy sempre più stringente.

Proprio per questo all’interno dello stand Ciao, che si troverà al centro della rotonda Diaz, verrà allestito un percorso multimediale che avrà per titolo “Il re della Dieta Mediterranea”. All’interno dello spazio  una raccolta di contenuti video racconterà tutte le sfumature di quel piccolo miracolo del Mezzogiorno che è ancora “fare i pomodori”, seppur con l’ausilio della tecnologia al servizio della qualità!

All’interno dello stand Ciao, si parlerà naturalmente di pizza, di alta cucina, della tecnologia che sta dietro ogni latta e ci sarà spazio anche per la cultura della convivialità con una raccolta di fotografie a tema pizza direttamente dal pubblico del Pizza Village. Basterà infatti scattare una foto durante i giorni della festa che faccia pensare alla pizza napoletana e pubblicarla sul proprio feed Instagram con l’hashtag #ciaopomodori per rivedersi sui monitor del nostro stand!

However, after so much going around, now is time to return home, to Naples.

Ciao è il pomodoro perfetto per la tua pizza
Why Ciao – Il Pomodoro di Napoli is perfect for your pizza 1024 576 cmdo

Why Ciao – Il Pomodoro di Napoli is perfect for your pizza

How should it be the perfect tomato for a Neapolitan pizza? Simpler pizzas like Marinara or Margherita certainly need a product with the right balance in terms of consistency, sourness, freshness and flavor. Let’s see together why Ciao is the right choice for your wood oven.

With or without precooking? And how should the crushing be? More or less dense? As Margherita and Marinara are the simplest pizzas on the menu, the few ingredients that top them must match perfectly.
So, here are some helpful tips about what to ask of the tomato you choose for your White Art.

 

The identikit of the perfect tomato

Some prefer to cook the tomato before seasoning their Margherita or Marinara. However, this certainly deprives of freshness and Sun flavor the final result, as it implies a second cooking step.

At the same time, there exist in kitchen acidity regulators like sugar or corn starch that although natural they certainly alter the original taste of the topping.

So why not choose a tomato 100% compliant with the AVPN regulations of the true Neapolitan pizza?

The ‘Disciplinare’ of the true Neapolitan pizza

According to the Disciplinare della Verace Pizza – the official regulations that put in writing all the principles of the art of the Neapolitan ‘Pizzaiuolo’, now recognized as a UNESCO Intangible Heritage of Humanity, the tomato for the Pizza Marinara and Pizza Margherita must be
Fresh or peeled
If peeled tomatoes are used, they must be chosen between the Roma or oblong and San Marzano tomatoes
and then they will have to be drained and hand-crushed to obtain the right consistency and not to alter it.

In order to choose the tomato for the Neapolitan pizza, it is therefore necessary to take into account the following parameters.

Density: considering also the addition of other ingredients and the subsequent oven cooking, the tomato should not be too liquid or too dense

Freshness: a tomato such as Ciao, processed just a few hours after the harvest, allows to preserve all the flavor of a summer product

Acidity: in this case too it is necessary to attain a balance between the sugary and acid components of the vegetables, therefore they must be preserved at the right level of ripeness

Flavor: according to the Disciplinare, tomatoes must be already salted before being put on the dough disc. This means that the freshly opened product must contain the salt quantity necessary to take into account this step that precedes the baking in the oven.

Ciao – Il Pomodoro di Napoli is designed for Neapolitan and Italian traditional dishes and therefore has what it takes for an excellent pizza.

Ciao – Il Pomodoro di Napoli and the Pizzaiuoli’s Nativity Crib 1024 576 cmdo

Ciao – Il Pomodoro di Napoli and the Pizzaiuoli’s Nativity Crib

A nativity crib dedicated to Neapolitan pizza was something still missing in the landscape of the nativity scene art and so APN seized the opportunity given by the anniversary of the proclamation of the art of the Neapolitan ‘Pizzaiuolo’ as an Intangible Heritage of Humanity to fill this gap. Ciao could never miss the roll call! Enjoy the first nativity crib made with pizza dough!

Nothing is more Neapolitan than the two arts of the pizza makers and of the nativity crib. So this year, APN – the Neapolitan Pizza-makers Association, and the artisans of San Gregorio Armeno decided together to create a truly exceptional work that will be exhibited until January 10 in the Basilica of Saint Clare.

A Nativity

The structure is that of a traditional 18th century nativity scene with a wood base and terracotta shepherds classically dressed in silk. But on closer look, the nativity scene in the Basilica of Saint Clare is a completely new masterpiece covered with pizza dough.

“We crib artisans, together with the pizza makers of the APN, replaced the stucco with the most natural material in the world: water and flour – told us Salvatore Iasevoli, author of the work.”

Nothing is missing in the Pizzaiuoli’s nativity crib: from the iconic waterfall that characterizes the most elaborated Neapolitan craftsmanship and which carries water to the flour mills, to the domes that represent the Sedili di Napoli (the ancient administrative institutions of the city), up to a real pizzeria.

Obviously, the main topping of the Neapolitan pizza could not be missing. A space inside the Pizzaiuoli’s crib is indeed dedicated to the tomato harvest and the brand chosen is of course Ciao – Il Pomodoro di Napoli, fully representing all the characteristics of the flavors of the South.

“This nativity scene has a great value in defending traditions. The art of pizza makers and the art of the nativity scene have come together as a shield protecting the uniqueness of the Made in Italy which in both sectors is threatened by counterfeiting” – Sergio Miccú, President of APN, told us. “We hope that soon other forms of craftsmanship will be able to enjoy the protections conferred by a title such as that of Intangible Heritage of Humanity. The battle of #pizzaunesco goes on!”

The solutions to the Pizza Game of Ciao – Il Pomodoro di Napoli

Great success for the quiz held by Ciao – Il Pomodoro di Napoli to celebrate the first edition of Pizza Village in Milan. Many were the participants that joined to have a say about the Neapolitan pizza. But who gave the right answers to the quiz presented by Davide Civitiello and Vincenzo Capuano and why? Here are the answers.
A true Neapolitan pizza lover knows everything about his favorite dish. That’s why we decided to put to the test the friends of Ciao – Il Pomodoro di Napoli, for years now sponsor of the main events in our sector.
So we involved two pizza masters like Davide Civitiello and Vincenzo Capuano selecting with them four questions – between intuition and technique – to propose to our friends during the Milanese days of Pizza Village Home.
And you all did great.
But someone was a bit more accurate than the others, though.
Why?

Here are the four riddles and the answers to each of them.

The first quiz, presented by Davide Civitiello who was in Milan on behalf of Rossopomodoro, was:

Ciao has been the official tomato of the Naples Pizza Village for years: but how many tomatoes on average do you think was consumed in the last edition held on the Lungomare of Naples?
The answer is 15,000 kilos.
Yes, we know, it was a bit of guessing at the numbers!

The second quiz was entrusted to Vincenzo Capuano. Here is the text.

Does it take more tomato to prepare a Margherita or a Marinara?
Answer: Marinara needs more tomato. According to the Disciplinare della Verace Pizza Napoletana – the official specifications for the true Neapolitan pizza, the Marinara requires 70-100gr of tomatoes, while the Margherita 60/80gr.

We then went back to Davide for the third quiz. There it is:

As everyone knows, the best technique for preparing tomato for Neapolitan pizza is hand crushing it. Why?
Answer: Because this way the seeds are not crushed and the taste of the tomato is not impacted. For those who did not answer correctly: do not worry and just give a look to the Disciplinare.

And finally, the last quiz was given by Vincenzo Capuano:

How much salt should be added to a kilo of tomatoes to prepare the topping for a Neapolitan pizza?
The answer is 10/12g per kilo. Here you all did really well.

So here is the list of promoted.
