Let's appetizer with the Fiocco di Prosciutto on the Pizza: the simple gesture that changes your aperitif
The days have gotten longer enough to give us an aperitif with the light still out.
It's not really cold anymore, but it's not the season for outdoor tables yet.
It's that in-between moment when you need something simple, but done well. Something that combines the desire to Pizza to the lightness of an aperitif.
And here he enters the scene: the Fiocco di Prosciutto.
Pizza changes pace
For years, pizza was the dinner par excellence. Then it became a weekend ritual, something planned, almost predictable. Today it may be something different. More spontaneous. More convivial. Smarter.
Pizza becomes an aperitif when it changes its attitude: when it is cut into small slices and placed in the center of the table, when it is shared instead of ordering “everyone his own”, when accompanied with a glass of wine and not with just any drink, when there is an ingredient capable of raising the bar.
The Fiocco di Prosciutto is that ingredient. It's the detail that transforms a pizza into an aperitif experience: more elegant, more balanced, more adult. Just add it raw, let it warm slightly, and everything changes pace.
...the Fiocco di Prosciutto transforms pizza into an aperitif experience: more elegant, balanced and adult!
Why precisely the Fiocco?
Because it's delicate. Because it's soft. Because it has an elegant flavor, never aggressive. Put raw on freshly baked pizza, the heat caresses it without actually cooking it. It remains silky, light, fragrant. It does not invade, it does not cover but it completes. And this makes it perfect for an aperitif that should not weigh you down but make you want another slice.
The combination that always works
Crunchy white base.
Fiordilatte mozzarella.
Pizza right out of the oven.
Ham flake placed on top, with your hands, without stiffness.
A good drizzle of oil.
Fine.
If you want to dare:
- Add a burrata in the center
- or a very light grated lemon peel
- or a few fresh arugula leaves
But without exaggeration. The protagonist must remain him.
The surprise effect
The beauty of the Fiocco on the pizza is that not everyone expects it. We are used to classic raw, speck and sausage. The Fiocco, on the other hand, is more subtle in character.
Those who taste it often stop for a second and say: “What is it? It's different.”
And it is precisely that moment that makes an aperitif interesting when something simple still manages to surprise.
Let's create a new rhythm
There is no need to organize a dinner and there is no need to set up formally.
It serves:
- A well-cut pizza
- a thin sliced Fiocco
- A couple of friends
- a fresh glass
Let's celebrate like this, with a pizza that becomes an aperitif. With a Fiocco that becomes the protagonist. With the desire to stay an hour... and stay much longer.
