The "Pane Cafone dei Camaldoli" is an ancient type of bread, typical of Neapolitan cuisine, characterized by its elongated shape and its dough made from durum wheat flour, water, salt, and yeast, which has received the prestigious recognition of Traditional Italian Agri-food Products.

The origin of Pane Cafone dei Camaldoli

The name comes from the hill of Camaldoli, located in the northwestern part of the city of Naples, famous for its scenic beauty and for the Camaldoli Abbey, a Benedictine monastery founded in 1012 by Saint Romuald.

The Camaldoli are a Catholic monastic order, whose name comes from the Latin "desert house", and refers to the solitary and withdrawn life that the monks of this order choose to lead. The Camaldolese hermits live in small communities of monks located in isolated areas, where they can dedicate themselves to prayer, meditation, and manual work. In their numerous monasteries and convents, scattered in different parts of the world, the monks also dedicate themselves to welcoming pilgrims and assisting the poor, to whom they distribute the cafone bread they usually prepare.

The hill of Camaldoli is also an area for producing quality wine and olive oil, and hosts numerous agritourisms and farms. Additionally, it is rich in paths and nature trails, suitable for walks and outdoor excursions.

An extraordinary taste given by centenary sourdough

Pane Camaldoli is very popular in Neapolitan cuisine and is often consumed accompanied by cold cuts, cheeses, or other simple foods. There are different variants of Pane Camaldoli, depending on the area where it is prepared and the personal tastes of the producers, here we offer it with the most traditional dough, made from sourdough from the Morra Bakery which, being tied to hundreds of years of tradition and requiring several days of preparation, gives it an extraordinary taste.
