The Neapolitan Pastiera

The Authentic Sweetness of the Neapolitan Tradition

Neapolitan pastiera is one of the most beloved and representative desserts of the culinary tradition of Naples linked to Easter. Its origins are rooted in Neapolitan history and culture, with a legend that tells how, during the Easter period, Neapolitan women prepared this dessert to celebrate the rebirth of spring and the fertility of the earth.

The traditional recipe includes a shortcrust pastry base that contains a rich and delicious filling, prepared with cooked wheat, sheep's ricotta, sugar, eggs and a touch of orange blossom water that gives it its characteristic aroma. The whole thing is cooked slowly, until it reaches a creamy and fragrant consistency.

The Neapolitan Casatiello

The Savoury Tradition of Neapolitan Easter

The Neapolitan casatiello is another symbol of the culinary tradition of Naples linked to the Easter holidays. This rustic, rich and tasty, is prepared with a leavened dough enriched with a mix of cured meats and cheeses, and decorated with whole hard-boiled eggs. Its origin dates back centuries, when, according to tradition, Neapolitan families prepared it to celebrate Easter, as a sign of abundance. 

The traditional recipe calls for the use of salami, cooked ham, pecorino cheese and caciocavallo, all mixed into the leavened dough. The hard-boiled eggs, arranged on top of the casatiello, not only add a decorative touch, but also a unique flavor to the dish.
