===Cuisine=== {{Main|Neapolitan cuisine}} [[File:Eq it-na pizza-margherita sep2005 sml.jpg|thumb|right|An authentic [[Neapolitan pizza]]]] Campanian cuisine varies within the region. While Neapolitan dishes centre on seafood, Casertan and Aversan ones rely more on fresh vegetables and cheeses. The cuisine from Sorrento combines the culinary traditions from both Naples and Salerno. [[Pizza]] was conceived in Naples.<ref name=Helstosky21>{{cite book|last1=Helstosky|first1=Carol|title=Pizza: A Global History|url=https://archive.org/details/pizzaglobalhisto00hels|url-access=limited|date=2008|publisher=Reaktion|location=London|isbn=978-1-86189-391-8|pages=[https://archive.org/details/pizzaglobalhisto00hels/page/n22 21]–22}}</ref> [[Spaghetti]] is also a well-known dish from southern Italy and Campania. [[File:Pasta Puttanesca by koishikawagirl.jpg|thumb|left|[[Spaghetti alla puttanesca]], a spicy pasta dish topped with a sauce made of tomatoes, olives, [[anchovies]] and [[capers]]]] Campania produces wines including [[Lacryma Christi]], [[Fiano (grape)|Fiano]], [[Aglianico]], [[Greco di Tufo]], [[Falerno del Massico]], [[Taburno]], [[Solopaca]], and [[Taurasi DOCG|Taurasi]]. The cheeses of Campania consist of [[Buffalo mozzarella|Mozzarella di Bufala (buffalo mozzarella)]] (mozzarella made from buffalo milk), fiordilatte ("flower of milk") a mozzarella made from cow's [[milk]], [[ricotta]] from [[sheep]] or [[domestic buffalo|buffalo]] milk, [[provolone]] from cow milk, and [[caciotta]] made from goat milk. [[Domestic buffalo|Buffalo]] are bred in the provinces of [[Salerno]] and [[Caserta]]. Several different cakes and pies are made in Campania. [[Pastiera]] pie is made during [[Easter]]. [[Casatiello]] and [[tortano]] are [[Easter bread]]s made by adding lard or oil and various types of cheese to bread dough and garnishing it with slices of [[salami]]. [[Rum baba|Babà]] cake is a well known Neapolitan delicacy, best served with [[rum]] or [[limoncello]] (a liqueur invented in the [[Sorrentine Peninsula|Sorrento peninsula]]). It is an old [[Austria]]n cake, which arrived in Campania during the Austrian domination of the [[Kingdom of Two Sicilies]] and was modified there to become a "walking cake" for citizens always in a hurry for work and other pursuits. [[Sfogliatella]] is another pastry from the [[Amalfi Coast]], as is [[Zeppole]], traditionally eaten on [[Saint Joseph]]'s day. [[Struffoli]], little balls [[fried dough]] dipped in [[honey]], are enjoyed during the Christmas holidays. [[File:Amalfi - limoni e peperoncini - "lemons and red dried peppers".jpg|thumb|Dried red peppers and lemons hanging from a shop in [[Amalfi]]]] Another Campanian dish is the so-called [[Russian salad]], also known as Olivier salad, which is based on similar dishes from [[France]]. It is made of potatoes in [[mayonnaise]] garnished with [[shrimp]] and vegetables in vinegar. Another French-derived dish is "gattò" or "gâteau di patate" (an oven-baked pie made of boiled potatoes). As with the Russian salad, Campania is home to popular seafood-based dishes, such as "insalata di mare" ([[seafood salad]]), "zuppa di polpo" ([[octopus soup]]), and "zuppa di cozze" (mussel soup). Other regional seafood dishes include "frittelle di mare" (fritters with seaweed), made with edible [[poseidonia]] algae, "triglie al cartoccio" (red mullet in the bag), and "alici marinate" (fresh anchovies in olive oil). The island of Ischia is known for its fish dishes, as well as for cooked rabbit. Campania is also home to the lemons of [[Sorrento]]. [[Rapini]] (or Broccoli rabe), known locally as ''friarielli'', are often used in regional cooking. Campania also produces many nuts, especially in the area of Avellino, Salerno and Benevento. [[Hazelnut]] production is especially relevant in the province of Avellino – in [[Spanish language|Spanish]], in [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]] and in [[Occitan language|Occitan]] the hazelnut is respectively called ''avellana'', ''avelã'' and ''avelano'',<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ansa.it/viaggiart/it/city-411-avella.html|title=Avella|access-date=16 March 2023|language=it|archive-date=18 September 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230918215724/https://www.ansa.it/viaggiart/it/city-411-avella.html|url-status=live}}</ref> after the city of [[Avella]]. That is also the case of ancient Italian ''avellana'', which is however not in use anymore.
