Pastiera at Easter — Naples' one true cake
Wheat, ricotta, orange-flower water, candied citron — baked the Thursday before, eaten cold on Sunday.
Where to buy a good one
Poppella in the Sanità, Scaturchio in Piazza San Domenico Maggiore, Mennella in Vomero. Same week, three different ratios of wheat to ricotta — try all three if you can.
Order one to take home: pastiera lasts ten days at room temperature and gets better after three.
