The HACCP certificate is proof that we have the necessary knowledge about the main rules of hygiene and safety, we know the rules and the application of HACCP, that we have the basics of microbiology and food preservation, and we know how to sanitize a facility and equipment. In short, the certificate serves to prove that we can protect the health of those who come into contact with food that we worked or handled.

Of course this knowledge have different degrees, the manager of the food industry must:
identify all critical points (CCP) the various activities and identify, apply and update safety procedures (based on HACCP principles). Its task is thus of responsibility, that requires a deep understanding of the issues. Instead, for example, the chap who does not manipulate foods must have general knowledge, because his contact with food is never direct, so much so that before the law did not provide even the possession of health card for this category.

Currently the law requires the possession of the mandatory HACCP, without which it is allowed to work in the food industry, so that in all cases it is required as a prerequisite when hiring.

The Pizza Esplanade Description and Recipes

Pizza Esplanade. Today I will try to clarify one of the more complex concepts of pizzeria. Around the word "plateau" in the greatest confusion reigns pizzeria!! Very often the case that customers order an esplanade for 2 or for 3 people without really knowing or know the meaning of this term.

The pizza esplanade was born many years ago as a unique bakery product, it is a thin focaccia white, without any seasoning, it is crispy and crumbly.

As should be the pizza esplanade

With the passage of time, each region has made its own recipe, very often inappropriately using the term esplanade, and unfortunately, always at the expense of crunchiness and crispness of the product.

Pizza Esplanade As It Should Be

The esplanade should be a simple focaccia thin and crisp without any seasoning or stuffing. Once baked, It can be stuffed at will, with mortadella, arugula, cherry tomatoes, tuna, ham and many other ingredients that do not release water, the esplanade, It is inumidita, lose its crunchiness.

Pizza Esplanade How Should Not Be

Stuffed pizza

Too often over the counter by pizzerias it reads the indication of pizza esplanade for a product of "open space" has nothing, you know very well that if you add tomato or mozzarella on a thin pizza, the result will not be sure of a product crispy and crumbly, as the tomato mozzarella, It contains a lot of water. It would be appropriate to call this product "pizza dish great for 3 the 4 People "

Conclusions

I am a simple pizza, I'm not a judge, then I would never dare to criticize products that over time have earned a place in the regional culinary traditions, products such as the esplanade of Romagna, the esplanade Roman, the esplanade of Calabria or the esplanade Sardinian, exceptional products, all boast of the title esplanade, but all different.
