O per e ‘o muss is a traditional dish from the Campania region in Italy. It can be found in various towns and communes of Campania, including Naples, Salerno, and Avellino. This dish is a popular street food and is often enjoyed as a quick snack or appetizer.
The main ingredient of O per e ‘o muss is mussels, which are cooked in a flavorful tomato sauce. The mussels are first cleaned and then cooked in a pan with garlic, olive oil, and white wine. Once the mussels open up, they are removed from the pan and set aside. The tomato sauce is then prepared by sautéing onions, garlic, and tomatoes in the same pan. The mussels are added back to the pan along with some parsley and cooked until the flavors meld together.
Another Traditional Recipess from Campania is the Neapolitan pizza, which originated in Naples. This pizza is known for its thin and crispy crust, topped with fresh ingredients such as San Marzano tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, basil, and olive oil. The pizza is traditionally cooked in a wood-fired oven, which gives it a unique smoky flavor.
O per e ‘o muss and Neapolitan pizza are both recognized as traditional products of Campania under the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) and Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) labels. These labels ensure that the products are made following specific production methods and using local ingredients, thus preserving their authenticity and quality.
