The Neapolitan casatiello is one of the most traditional baked products of the Neapolitan culinary culture. The Rosa Maria Vittoria bakery revives an ancient recipe from an important Neapolitan culinary master, Salvatore Esposito, famous for having prepared in 1947 one of the wedding cakes of Queen Elizabeth II of England. The casatiello is typically a savory Easter cake, but the Molisan bakery makes it available all year round! Culinary art was once not shared as it is today, and many recipes were secret. Salvatore Esposito kept each recipe like a precious jewel, and only some of them were passed down to his children. His granddaughter, after becoming part of the Rosa Maria Vittoria family by marrying his son, thus gifted the Molisan bakery the precious recipe for casatiello. Salvatore Esposito was opposed to the hard-boiled eggs that adorned the rustic cake, partly for hygiene reasons and partly because they broke during transport. The Rosa Maria Vittoria bakery has therefore decided to faithfully reproduce the original casatiello of Salvatore Esposito.
