The Pizza In Portugal. One of the greatest satisfactions that I have been receiving in recent times, It is to see their students attending the professional course of pizza at Our school of Italian pizza, open your own business pizzeria.

E’ the case of Angelo, who came from Portugal to attend the course of professional pizza maker at our school, which put an upward “Studio Pizza” and christened Mascalzone Latino in honor of a famous singer and artist who died prematurely a short time ago.

The Pizza In Portugal

The pizzeria is located a few kilometers from the capital Lisbon, in the holiday resort Ericeira, world reserve surf. Daily we see tourists arriving from all parts of the world to practice this sport.

Angelo, owner of Mascalzone latino, prepares delicious slices of takeaway pizza and delicious pizzas to the plate to be eaten sitting comfortably at a table a few steps from the sea, or, to take home for the whole family. It only has a few tables outside, but, the quality of its pizzas in a few weeks has crushed the competition, It knows that abroad many pizzerias try to copy the Italian product, but often they sin of inexperience due to the fact that they have never seen preparing a pizza in a professional way, or because they use ingredients not suitable.

The high quality of proposals from pizzas “Mascalzone Latino” It is due to the use of quality ingredients, purchased directly from Italy and training that Angelo has received attending our ongoing professional pizzaiolo.

The Pizza In Portugal

Angelo invited me to the opening of his fabulous local. I spent 2 wonderful weeks in Ericeira. Not practical to surf, but there is plenty to do for people like me who have a certain age and suffering from back pain, it is not easy to ride the ocean waves towering and majestic, for who, come me, He can barely keep afloat. For those young at heart there is the local food that the restaurants cook and serve in a workmanlike manner in accordance with local customs. The cod is one of the most famous specialties of Portuguese cuisine, but in countries like the sea Ericeira are very strong grilled sardines, much larger extent and tasty than we are used to eating in our Mediterranean or Adriatic, or sea bass and sea bream cooked on charcoal grill which can be eaten in all local restaurants.

From now, our school of Italian pizza, He will lean to the pizzeria by Angelo “Mascalzone Latino” to propose pizza courses in Portugal, so dear Portuguese friends, do not miss this brilliant opportunity to power a course to become professional Pizzaioli, right near your home. Check the calendar of upcoming courses scheduled in Ericeira clicking here.

If you go on vacation in Portugal, se fate visita a Lisboa, take a ride in the city of Ericeira, It is only a few kilometers from the capital (40 Km), it's worth it just to enjoy one of the delicious pizzas proposals “Mascalzone Latino” managed by the dear Angel, because, as I remember in all my posts, friends are the greatest asset I possess, share this article on your Facebook page and click on G +, by doing so you will help this blog to grow.

PIZZA AND RESTAURANT Interview with Alfredino Macellari owner of the restaurant “Rosy Food” in via the work Centobuchi Monteprandone, You – Italy.

1)Pizza and restaurant, that the relationship?.

narrow. Often, pizza and catering are the same thing. notoriously, the ingredients to make a good pizza contain all the essential foods.

2)He feels the crisis in recent years in pizzeria?

Even in times of crisis, the consumer can not be deprived of food. folds, it's clear, on more "poor" foods. The pizza is generally associated with the most "poor restaurant". Though, in truth, not at all. And 'certainly more economic, albeit one of the most complete and tasty food.

Pizza & Catering

3)E’ more productive work with the restaurant or the pizzeria?

There is no difference. The important thing is to have satisfied customers. The restaurant consists of a myriad of variables. A plate "rich", of 20 euri, for example, It may involve a cost of 60/70% of raw material. The pizza shop, instead, although more modest revenues, It has relatively low raw material costs.

4)It proposes new initiatives for its customers?

This is not real initiatives. In the restaurant it must be scrupulous and careful in preparing each food. Lobster cooked badly, for example, worth less than a "daisy" cooked well. A basil leaf withered, used to adorn a simple plate of spaghetti with tomato sauce , can "ruin" the aesthetics of the dish. E, and to, when you eat, using "all" the senses . Also the view. The sense of smell.

5)How many hours he is engaged in the daily management of its business?

I never counted. The rest, the management of a pizzeria or a restaurant constitutes, at the same time, work and play together. Otherwise you can not do.

Pizza & Catering

6)Tell me what has been the greatest satisfaction that he had so far…

The satisfaction is daily. Make sure that your customers are happy with the food and service is priceless. And 'how to make goals for a player ... It' s like having an orgasm ... gourmet, you understand ... (Mr.. Alfredino smiles pleased with his own joke)

7)lei, usually, what you eat?

First of all, I do not eat in the dining room. In living memory no one has seen me eat in the dining room. I do not think properly towards my customers. My favorite food?: spaghetti with tomato sauce perfumed with two leaves of fresh basil. Or a strictly pizza "daisy". accompanied, both, by a white sauvignon cup.

8)What it does not like in the dining?

Excessive handling of simple things. For example, I often speak of "aperitif", also with pizza. I find it contradictory. The pizza, always for example, It is a complete food: It can not be accompanied by a Campari or a prosecco. but, with the wine, or with beer. Anyhow, never with the coke ...

9)A nice story to tell happened in his restaurant..

(Mr.. Alfredino reflects long, deep in thought. He lights a cigarette and, very serious, responds). I do not know if it's cute. I think an anecdote certainly uplifting. from us, in our restaurant "Rosy", It comes to dinner, almost every night, Also a comely lady. Always alone, reserved, fragrant and showy. It is the oldest profession in the world. Well, this unknown lady claims to have dinner in a reserved table, the corner of the room. But the thing that struck me is that this lady claims to eat with cutlery, dishes and only plastic cups, tablecloths and napkins, disposable. The other night, apologies of my curiosity, I asked: "Do you forgive me, I ask why not use the cutlery and traditional dishes?”. The lady smiled graciously and responded: "Right. Alfredino, she can not understand what kind of job I do. Well, out of respect to our excellent pizza restaurant, its customers, and above all to his personal kindness, I decided not to create them no discomfort with his customers "Chapeau, my lords!!. I did bring a bottle of sauvignon. series: ..when respect and politeness are mutual ...

Thank you Mr. Alfredino.

2 pizzas on 3 They Are Made With Lithuanian Mozzarella and Tomato Chinese: Source Coldiretti which has made public the list of contaminated foods that arrive in Italy.

I appeal to colleagues pizzaioli, to pizzerias holders and to all / and those who prepare the pizza at home, but you, that products used to prepare pizza?

According to authoritative sources “coldiretti” in 2015 imports of tomato paste from China rose 379% which is equal to 10% of national production, and also scares the importation of olive oil from Tunisia increased by 279%.

Also worrying is the increase in the 17% casearei of products for the production of mozzarella from Lithuania.

2 pizzas on 3 They Are Made With Lithuanian Mozzarella and Tomato Chinese

Initial estimates of the 2016 They are even more alarming when you look at the fact that there is an increase of one thousand tons of wheat from other countries, mainly from Canada.

All this happens daily before our eyes without the actual indication of origin of these foods is declared on the label (allowed by current legislation).

I'll cringe when I think that if a small operator makes a mistake on the compilation of the table of its ingredients in its pizzeria can incur huge fines or even days of their local closing.

The pizza, only in Italy with a total turnover 10 billion Euros and, listen Listen… every day is turning out 5 million pizzas for a total of 1,8 pizzas billion per year.

The equivalent in terms of ingredients:

200 million pounds of flour

225 million pounds of mozzarella

30 million pounds of olive oil

260 million pounds of tomatoes

All these data make us realize that 2 pizzas on 3 produced in Italy, They are “contaminate” by ingredients from foreign countries. This is unfair competition.
