Naples culinary traditions: Annuccia startup and gateau recipes

In Naples, the startup Annuccia, founded by Vincenzo Castellone and Antonio Valentino, is reimagining the traditional Caprese cake. The business operates a laboratory in Pozzuoli and utilizes pop-up locations, including a recent presence in the Chiaia area. Their version of the dessert is naturally gluten-free and uses lactose-free butter, offering varieties such as dark chocolate, lemon with white chocolate, and a limited-edition coffee flavor.

Additionally, traditional Neapolitan gateau (also known as gattò) remains a staple of regional cuisine. This potato-based savory dish can be prepared in several ways, including a classic version with ham, salami, and provola cheese, or a more robust variation featuring sausage and scamorza cheese.
