Sal De Riso – StreetFoodNews
The famous Sal De Riso is not the only great pastry chef from Campania. There are also some excellent but inexpensive patisseries on the picturesque Amalfi Coast.
Who doesn't know Sal De Riso. One of the most famous pastry chefs in Italy as well as President of the Academy of Italian Pastry Chefs and founding member of the Academy of Mother's Yeast and Italian Panettone.
In his laboratory in Minori, one of the pearls of the splendid and suggestive Amalfi Coast in Campania, he has created true excellence, for which he has even registered the trademark.
The most famous is certainly this Ricotta and pear cake with hazelnut cookies. How was it born? Not a coincidence, as he said in the blog Luciano Pignataro: “It was 1998 and for some time I had wanted to create a new, simple dessert using only local products. One day while I was working, I noticed some Agerola feathered pears, ricotta and Giffoni hazelnuts lying on the table and had the idea to create something different with them. A cake that symbolizes the soul of us people on the Amalfi Coast: as essential as ricotta; humble like pennat, sweet and doughy, little known and used in confectionery; as strong as hazelnuts.
But on the Amalfi Coast there is not just one pastry shop that is one of the most famous in the area. You can also find real excellence, cheap and good. Let's look at some of them.
