Street Food at Km Zero The New Frontier of Street Gastronomy

Street food is a constantly growing phenomenon that has won the hearts of many gastronomy enthusiasts all over the world. But today I want to talk to you about an even more special variant: lo street food a km zero. This concept is revolutionizing the way we see and taste street food, promoting sustainability and valorising local products.

What is zero km street food?

Zero km street food represents a new way of understanding traveling catering, based on the exclusive use of local ingredients. This means that all the products used come from within a few kilometers of the place of sale, ensuring freshness, quality and reduced environmental impact. This approach not only helps the local economy, but it also allows you to rediscover authentic and genuine flavours.

The pizza: queen of street food

When it comes to zero km street food, we cannot fail to mention the pizza. This dish, symbol of Italian cuisine, it lends itself perfectly to the zero kilometer philosophy. Imagine a pizza prepared with flour ground a few steps from the pizzeria, tomatoes grown in the nearby field and mozzarella produced by the village dairy. The result is a pizza with a unique and unmistakable flavour.

The preparation of the dough

The quality of a pizza always starts from the dough. The preparation of dough is an art that requires passion and competence. In our pizza chef courses, organized in our pizza school by Silvio Cicchi, we teach our students the importance of choosing local, quality ingredients to obtain a perfect dough. From the choice of flours, strictly Italian and possibly organic, to water, preferably from local source, each element contributes to creating an excellent base for pizza.

Cooking pizza: a fundamental process

In addition to the preparation of the dough, cooking the pizza is another fundamental element for obtaining a high quality product. Cooking traditionally takes place in wood-fired ovens, which give the pizza that characteristic smoky flavor and a unique crunchiness. Even in this case, the use of wood from local forests helps reduce environmental impact and support local economies.
