25 minutes

Pizza 'Crudo' is a true embodiment of Italian culinary tradition, where fresh, simple ingredients transform into a masterpiece of flavor. Its name means 'raw', highlighting the use of delicate Parma ham added after baking. The base is thin dough soaked in rich tomato sauce, with soft creamy mascarpone and stretchy mozzarella. Baked to a golden crust, the pizza receives a finishing touch with slices of ham and drops of aromatic extra virgin olive oil. It’s a harmony of contrasts: warm dough and chilled meat, creamy softness and spicy richness. 'Crudo' is perfect for a light dinner or an aperitif accompanied by a glass of Italian wine, offering true pleasure to every Mediterranean cuisine connoisseur.
