BESTO SHOW ANACAPRI FOODS | CRANFORD, NJ

PMQ’s staff reviews the best and most unique products from the annual AnaCapri Foods Show.

5 Stagioni

5 Stagioni, an Italian flour company, has been used by pizzaioli around the globe. I was pleased to get a chance to sample the oven-fired pizza made by Chef Gregorio Fierro using this high-quality flour. Fierro is a native of Naples, and yet he speaks fluent New York. "There's nothing better than a piping-hot pizza made with 5 Stagioni with a view of Manhattan," Fierro says. AnaCapri now carries 5 Stagioni’s 5 Seasons flour. le5stagioni.it
