๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ• Why is the humble plum tomato the gold standard for pizza sauce? According to the AVP, there are only three tomato varieties permitted to make real authentic Pizza Napoletana: San Marzano (the most famous/infamous), Piennolo (known for being preserved in bunches, hanging on a piece of twine), and finally, the Corbarino. Weโ€™ll talk to growers of the two latter tomato types, and find out what sets their fruit apart. Weโ€™ll also find out what happens when a California canning company joins forces with a wood-fire pizza legend, how northern Italian pesto Genovese became the go-to green sauce for many pies, and what sauces Modernist Cuisine constituted as pizza sauce. Spoiler alert: that can of soup you have in your pantry may comply. Whatโ€™s in your sauce? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
