Crosta Mollica launches Collezione Romana pizza range
UK-based Italian food brand, Crosta Mollica has produced a new range of wood-fired sourdough pizzas this September: Collezione Romana presents 32cm pizzas inspired by iconic Italian regions, and is now available in major UK supermarkets.
The Collezione Romana range includes three pizzas, each developed to reflect the culinary traditions of a specific Italian locale. All pizzas are made in Italy, slow-proved for 24 hours, and cooked in a wood-fired oven for bases that are described as thin and crisp, “kissed with fire for a golden, leopard-spotted crust” – known as a cornicione. The Portofino is a variation on the classic Margherita, incorporating slow-roasted yellow cherry tomatoes, mozzarella di bufala and a basil salsa. It is paired at the exhibition with a Vermentino wine, selected for its citrus notes and minerality. Alternatively, the Bolzano pizza takes inspiration from the Alpine city of the same name, featuring salsiccia sausage, balsamic red onions and rosemary, and the company recommends accompanying it with a slightly chilled Montepulciano, to complement the richness of the sausage and the acidity of the tomato base. The third pizza, the Bosco di Alba, pays homage to the woodlands of Alba in the Piedmont region. It includes summer truffles, grilled mushrooms and a roasted garlic crema, and the recommended wine pairing is Barbera, a Piedmontese red with earthy, cherry notes.
Crosta Mollica say the luxurious new Collezione Romana range is “not for everyone, only those who know great pizza”.
