Goti with its Impruneta Terracotta Ovens has always followed tradition with an eye, however, always turned to innovation. With its refractory stone terracotta it gives food and pizza goodness and authenticity and with its innovation it allows considerable savings in cooking delicacies! Pizza, the symbol of Italy par excellence on tables all over the world, was born in the Middle Ages on the Amalfi coast. In that period, in fact, to supply the ships of the Maritime Republic of Amalfi, the rural bakeries of Tramonti baked biscuit bread, ideal for lasting many months thanks to the double cooking which allowed complete dehydration and then being rehydrated in sea water before being eaten . It is in this context that Pizza was born as to bring the ovens to the right temperature it was customary to prepare compounds of rye, millet and barley flour to be eaten immediately as soon as they were taken out of the oven, flavored with spices and lard.
Already from the end of 1400, thanks to the privileges that Ferdinand I of Aragon conferred on the inhabitants of Tramonti as a reward for helping him during the battle against the Angevins in 1480, trade with Naples intensified and allowed the people of Tramonti to export their products, including including "panella condita", which will subsequently be known throughout the world as pizza. It is on this occasion that Naples encountered for the first time this new culinary tradition which over time would become its distinctive element. The tradition has strengthened over time because most families had a wood-fired oven at home and it was customary to cook the pizza before the bread in the oven without embers and without flame and with the same bread dough seasoned with oil, garlic, tomatoes , fish or cheese.
The most famous pizza of all is the Margherita which has its origins in June 1889 when the chef Raffaele Esposito, to honor the Queen of Italy Margherita of Savoy, created a pizza with tomato, mozzarella and basil toppings, ingredients which with their colors recalled the flag of Italy. Over the years, pizza has become more and more famous and I would say has become an Italian heritage, but let's remember that the real, more fragrant and special one is the one cooked in a wood oven.
