About Neapolitan margherita

Neapolitan Margherita pizza is a classic Italian dish originating from Naples, renowned for its simplicity and fresh ingredients. This traditional pizza features a thin, airy crust made from water, flour, yeast, and salt, topped with a flavorful tomato sauce, creamy fresh mozzarella, basil leaves, and a drizzle of olive oil. These components represent the colors of the Italian flag. While rich in flavor, the Margherita is relatively light compared to heavier, cheese-laden pizzas. Its tomato base is an excellent source of vitamins A and C and antioxidants like lycopene, which support heart health and inflammation reduction. Fresh mozzarella provides protein and calcium, while olive oil and basil contribute healthy fats and nutrients. However, the pizza is moderately high in sodium and carbohydrates, so portion control is key for maintaining a balanced diet. Overall, Neapolitan Margherita offers a wholesome introduction to authentic Italian cuisine in a simple yet nutritious form.
