Le Strada Della Mozzarella, Mozzarella Roads


Le Strada Della Mozzarella, AKA Mozzarella Roads, is an international event showcasing the Italian PDO Buffalo Mozzarella. However, it also highlights some other ingredients, which are typical of the Italian cuisine such as dried pasta, extra-virgin olive oil, and tomatoes. The 10th edition of the event took place for the second time in London after its 2015 edition. The event marked the beginning of the international tour for 2017.

Two Consecutive Days and Two Venues in London

The first event took place at L’Antica Pizzeria de Michele is the newest branch of the iconic pizzeria which comes from the heart of the Italian Naples. The Naples site opened its door in 1870. The event was called ‘one night in London’, and the Neapolitan Pizza was the centre of the evening. Four of the best Neapolitan chefs showcased their skills in preparing the traditional and modern pizza of Naples – Francesco and Salvatore Salvo, Marco Condurro and Giuseppe Pignalosahail –. The event also provided the attendants with the opportunity to immerse themselves into the world of pizza from Naples.
