Prosciutto e Funghi
Pizza with prosciutto, fresh mushrooms and mozzarella
About This Pizza
A timeless combination that epitomizes Italian culinary wisdom, the Prosciutto e Funghi brings together the salty richness of aged prosciutto with the earthy depth of fresh mushrooms. The prosciutto, added after baking to preserve its delicate texture, drapes elegantly over sautéed mushrooms that have been cooked to concentrate their umami flavors. This pizza represents the Italian mastery of balancing simple ingredients to create extraordinary results.
The Story Behind
This classic combination dates back to the 1950s in Northern Italy, where prosciutto production and mushroom foraging were both deeply rooted traditions. The pairing was first popularized in Emilia-Romagna, home to Prosciutto di Parma, where local trattorias served this combination as an antipasto. Forward-thinking pizzaiolos recognized the perfect marriage of flavors and adapted it for pizza, creating what would become one of Italy's most beloved pizza varieties.
