I made a mess 😬 😅

Mercato Italiano | Italian Market, Bakery, Cafè & Pizzeria is located Naples (Florida) and is one of the most authentic Italian places I have been to in Florida!

AD | These are the best!! 🫒

Originally from Castelvetrano, Sicily, these beautiful bright green olives are known for their mild, buttery flavor, firm texture, and slight sweetness. 🫒🇮🇹 They’re even a great choice if you normally find olives too bitter or strong.

I love eating them straight from the jar, but they’re also perfect for aperitivo boards, salads, pasta, focaccia, or paired with Italian cheeses and salumi.

And you already know—when I find a great Italian product at a great price, I have to share it with you. 😂🇮🇹🫒

Guanciale and pancetta are not the same thing. 🐷🇮🇹

They’re both cured pork, but the biggest difference starts with where they come from.

Guanciale is made from the pork cheek or jowl. It has a higher fat content and develops an incredibly rich flavor as that fat renders during cooking. It’s the traditional choice for iconic Roman pastas like carbonara, amatriciana, and gricia.

Pancetta comes from the pork belly. It has a different balance of meat and fat, a firmer texture, and generally a milder flavor.

Why are San Gennaro and Italian food so closely connected? 🇮🇹🙏

September 19 is the feast day of San Gennaro, patron saint of Naples. When Neapolitan immigrants came to America, they brought their devotion—and their traditions—with them.

In 1926, the Feast of San Gennaro began in New York’s Little Italy, meaning 2026 marks its 100th anniversary. 🇮🇹🇺🇸

Over the generations, the celebration became famous for foods like sausage and peppers, zeppole, pizza, cannoli, and more.

It’s a perfect example of how Italian food is about more than eating—it carries stories of faith, migration, family, and tradition across generations.

Buona Festa di San Gennaro! 🙏🇮🇹

Do you support the mission? 💪🇮🇹

About 60% of “Italian” food products sold in the U.S. are estimated to be Italian-sounding—products that use Italian names, imagery, or branding but aren’t actually made in Italy.

From “Parmesan” produced outside Italy to extra virgin olive oil made elsewhere but marketed with an Italian identity, knowing how to read labels, origin statements, and certifications like PDO and PGI can help you recognize authentic Italian food.

I’m Robert, founder of Stop Italian Sounding, and my mission is to help consumers understand the difference between authentic Italian products and Italian sounding imitations.

Because behind authentic Italian food is a territory, tradition, history, and the people who keep it alive. 🇮🇹❤️

Just don’t drink it after noon 😝

The name is connected to the Capuchin friars, whose brown habits inspired the name—and yes, Padre Pio was a Capuchin friar too.

In Vienna, a coffee drink called the Kapuziner—German for “Capuchin”—was named for its color resembling the friars’ robes.

Legend also connects Blessed Marco d’Aviano, an Italian Capuchin friar, with helping popularize coffee mixed with milk or cream.

It seems like Italian products are always somehow connected, even slightly, to Catholicism 👉🏻 Creedo

Why can’t we just eat real food??

Lab-grown meat isn’t science fiction anymore. 🥩🧫

Companies in the U.S. are developing cell-cultivated chicken, pork, salmon and other foods by growing animal cells in controlled environments called bioreactors.

And you may not see the words “lab-grown” on the label. Terms to know include cell-cultivated, cell-cultured, and cultured animal cells.

For me, this makes understanding food labels more important than ever. Certifications like PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) and PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) help provide traceability and protect foods tied to specific territories and defined production standards.

Italy, on the other hand, has even taken a stronger position, passing legislation in 2023 prohibiting foods produced from cultured vertebrate animal cells or tissues.

What are your thoughts??

Something calling itself “mozzarella” could soon be coming to American pizza—without using any animal milk. 🧀👀

New Culture is developing an animal-free mozzarella using casein produced through precision fermentation in large fermentation tanks. That protein is then combined with water, plant oils, starch and other ingredients to create something designed to melt and stretch like mozzarella.

Here’s where I start asking questions.

The company says its casein is self-affirmed GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe), meaning it did not go through the traditional FDA premarket food-additive approval process.

And don’t necessarily expect to see “lab-grown” on the label. Precision fermentation is the terminology you’re more likely to encounter.

Maybe this is innovation. But when we can engineer something to imitate a traditional food, I think consumers deserve to know exactly what it is, how it was made, and why we’re calling it mozzarella.
