Arugula
Arugula is an aromatic salad green.  It is also known as rocket, roquette, rugula and rucola, and is popular in Italian cuisine.

In Roman times Arugula was grown for both it’s leaves and the seed. The seed was used for flavoring oils.  On another interesting note, Rocket or Arugula seed has been used as an ingredient in aphrodisiac concoctions dating back to the first century, AD. (Cambridge World History of Food).

Catupiry (Soft Cheese)
The soft cheese known as Catupiry is a Brazilian creation. It was invented in 1911 by a couple of Italian immigrants, Mario and Isaira Silvestrini, during a stay at the hydro-mineral spa of Lambari in Minas Gerais State (MG). Catupiry became an immediate favorite due to its light consistency and distinct flavor. Today it is used in dozens of pizza and other recipes throughout South America. The word “Catupiry”, in the Brazilian Indian language Tupi-Guarani, means “excellent”

GORGONZOLA CHEESE

Gorgonzola is an Italian cows' milk (and sometimes goats' milk) cheese named after a village (Gorgonzola) that was once outside of Milan, but is now really a suburb of the city. The cheese dates back to the 9th century, with the blue/green mold developing accidentally sometime around the 11th century.

As with most blue-veined cheeses, Gorgonzola was originally aged in caves and the blue veins of mold developed from spores naturally present in the caves. Today, again like most blue-veined cheeses, the mold spores are mixed right in with the curds in the cheese-making process to maintain consistent standards.

Mozzarella Cheese

History

From the Roma Bella Mozzarella Company.

2,000 years ago Rome was the master of the world and Julius Caesar was the master of Rome. One of Rome's many conquests was the country of Egypt and its beautiful Queen Cleopatra. Caesar returned to Rome and sent his counsel, Anthony, to administer the conquest.

Legent has it that Anthony and Cleopatra fell in love and spent many idylic hours cruising the Nile on the barges pulled by water buffalo, eating sumptuous meals and feasting on cheese made from the milk of the water buffalo. The Egyptians, seeing the passion between the two, came to regard the protein and vitamin rich cheese as a prime motivator in this mad affair. Anthony became such a lover of the cheese he sent water buffalo back to rome as a gift to Caesar, with instructions on how to make the milk into mozzarella. Overnight the cheese became a staple of the Roman diet and all of Southtern Italy. The breeding of the water buffalo became a passion in its own right in the area between Rome and Naples. Over the centuries, the wholesomeness of the produce sustained the Italian people and could not be duplicated anywhere else.

Mozzarella di Bufala
Mozzarella di Bufala has a springy texture and a pleasantly sour taste with the faint aroma of moss. If you've never had the real Mozzarella before, you owe it to yourself to try this sublime delicacy. Mozzarella di Bufala is a drawn-curd cheese made from whole buffalo's milk. It is china-white in color, spherical in shape and has a very thin and glossy rind.

All over the world, Pizzas are known by name. The name is given to a pizza by how it is made and the ingredients that top it.
