\"Traditional

Neapolitan\u00a0“Tortano” in a traditional baking pan\u00a0 (\u00a9 Portanapoli.com)<\/p><\/div>\n

As Easter present people give each other big chocolate eggs, which are filled with a surprise.\u00a0 Some chocolate shops in Naples<\/a> produce artful chocolate eggs, which you can have filled with an individual present.<\/p>\n

In Naples, every day of the Easter season is characterized by a different culinary delicacy<\/h4>\n

On Thursday before Easter, people traditionally prepare boiled artichokes with olive oil, salty Ricotta, and two different kinds of Neapolitan salami (fellata). Also, as a tradition, the pastiera cake is made, but it can\u2019t be tasted until Sunday.
\nIn the past, people fasted on Good Friday, but that tradition has changed. Today, they prepare fish from the Gulf and serve it simply with lemon and olive oil.<\/p>\n

\"Pastiera

Pastiera necessarily belongs to the Neapolitan Easter (Foto \u00a9 Tony – Fotolia)<\/p><\/div>\n

After the light Friday dish, il casatiello, also called tortano, is on the menu for Saturday<\/h4>\n

Il casatiello is a kind of round bread made from yeast dough with lard, pepper, and salt. Then, two different kinds of Neapolitan salami, bacon, Parmesan cheese, Pecorino, boiled eggs, smoked ham, and a lot of pepper are knead into the dough. Four raw eggs are put in the dough for decoration, and then it goes in the oven. The casatiello is not exactly a low-calorie dish, but it is very delicious!<\/p>\n

On Easter Sunday,\u00a0Neapolitans have a big meal<\/h4>\n

The traditional Easter Menu in Naples\u00a0starts with salty Ricotta, Neapolitan salami and boiled eggs, followed by Minestra maritata (a kind of vegetable soup) or crostatata di tagliolini (pasta au gratin) and meet\u00a0with baked potatoes and a salad as a side dish.<\/p>\n

As dessert is served\u00a0the famous pastiera. Every Neapolitan associates this cake made from boiled wheat, ricotta and candied lemon peel with Easter, and its smell accompanies every day of the Easter season.<\/p>\n

On Easter Monday\u00a0all across Italy, people take a trip to the sea or to the countryside<\/h4>\n

They prepare a frittata di maccheroni (Maccheroni baked with eggs) for a picnic, and the leftover casatiello from Saturday and the pastiera are also in the picnic basket.<\/p>\n

Another Easter tradition is the cake called colomba, which is shaped like a dove, its name is Colomba.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
