Hello dear
Sprizzami was born from the idea of Simone Servodidio and Marcelo Pignone’s to provide quality pizza and refreshing Aperol Spritz at fairs and festivals all around Portugal to bring a taste of italianity to straight to you.
Pinsa comes from the Latin word “Pinsere” which in Italian language means to stretch, to spread.
What we can properly call “Modern Roman Pinsa” is a reinterpretation of an ancient Roman recipe invented during the Ancient Roman Empire, reworked with new ingredients and modern techniques.
The original recipe comes from an ancient product made among the rural
populations living just outside the walls of Rome, who used to cook a kind of
“focacce” or “schiacciatine”, grinding cereals (millet, barley and spelt) and adding
salt
and herbs.
The traditional recipe has been revisited several times over the centuries, until
nowadays.
The main Pinsa Romana’s features are:
The intuition and invention of Pinsa comes from the experience and the great passion for
bread-making processes of the specialized pizza chef Corrado Di Marco (founder of the
homonymous
company),
who created a new and innovative product that brought a revolution inside the world of
Pizza.
Mr. Di Marco thanks to his maternal grandfather teachings on the ancient bread-making techniques and scientific research understood and improved dietetic factors and realized an exclusive and inimitable product.
All the stages in the making of Pinsa Romana must be strictly followed
demonstrating that producing Pinsa is a real science.
The exponential increase on consuming Pinsa started just over 10 years ago (2017),
nowadays there are more than 5000 Pinserie all over the world and thousands of
customers aware of the features and peculiarities this product has.
A proper Aperol spritz tastes like summertime in Italy and looks like a golden orange sunset.
Aperol is an Italian bitter “aperitivo” made of gentian, rhubarb and cinchona, among
other ingredients. It has a vibrant orange hue.
It wasn’t until the 1950s that the Aperol Spritz was born. Inspired by the ‘Spritzer’
(German for splash), the perfect ratio of three parts Italian prosecco, two parts
Aperol and a splash of soda became a popular drink at Aperitivo occasions
throughout Italy.
How to make the ideal Aperol Spritz.
In a large wine glass full of ice, simply add:
- 3 parts Italian Prosecco (90ml)
- 2 parts Aperol (60ml)
- 1 part soda water (30ml, just a dash)
- Garnish with an orange wedge.
Salute!
