PIZZA LIGURE WITH PESTO

Enjoy this delicious pizza stright from Italy, the Pesto Pizza Ligure. Made with rich buffalo mozzarella, fresh basil pesto and organic Italian cherry tomatoes. Buffalo mozzarella is a fresh, soft, semi-elastic textured cheese belonging to the "pasta filata" family. The process of making pasta filata cheese includes heating the curd to a point where it can be stretched and formed into various shapes. This gives the snowy white mozzarella a mild yet slightly sour taste. The texture is soft, moist and somewhat granular. Now, let’s talk Pesto. The original recipe dates back to the second half of the 19th century; the first to mention it seems to be a well-known gastronome of the time, Giovanni Battista Ratto in his work, La Cuciniera Genovese.
