BROOKLYN, NY — Talia di Napoli, a Neapolitan pies brand that ships its products to the US from Italy, crafted its first certified-vegan pizza.
The Vegan Margherita gourmet frozen pizza is handcrafted in Naples, Italy, and features a sourdough crust, vegan mozzarella made from cashews and almonds, pomodoro sauce and fresh basil.
“We’ve been sitting on launching a vegan margherita for years,” said Edouard Freda, founder and CEO of Talia di Napoli. “While we knew this was an important pizza to have, we needed to make sure we found a plant-based mozzarella that matched the quality of the rest of our ingredients, which took a while. We finally found an Italian supplier of the best vegan ‘mozzarella’ we have tasted and knew we finally had what we needed to launch the vegan pizza everyone has been waiting for.”
Talia di Napoli uses a patented cryogenic freezing chamber to freeze its pizzas straight out of the oven to lock in freshness without preservatives. After 10 minutes in a home oven, the gourmet frozen pizza retains the same attributes of a fresh pie.
The plant-based, vegan pizza is available for purchase on the brand’s website for $120 and $144 for a 6-pack and 8-pack, respectively. The pies are shipped sustainably in eco-friendly packaging as part of Talia di Napoli’s commitment to being 100% plastic- and carbon-neutral. Other select pizzas are available at US retailers, including Whole Foods Market and Fresh Market.
