The "Pane Cafone dei Camaldoli" is an ancient type of bread, typical of Neapolitan cuisine, characterized by its elongated shape and its dough made from durum wheat flour, water, salt, and yeast, which has received the prestigious recognition of Traditional Italian Agri-food Products.
The name comes from the hill of Camaldoli, located in the northwestern part of the city of Naples, famous for its scenic beauty and for the Camaldoli Abbey, a Benedictine monastery founded in 1012 by Saint Romuald.
The Camaldoli are a Catholic monastic order, whose name comes from the Latin "desert house", and refers to the solitary and withdrawn life that the monks of this order choose to lead. The Camaldolese hermits live in small communities of monks located in isolated areas, where they can dedicate themselves to prayer, meditation, and manual work. In their numerous monasteries and convents, scattered in different parts of the world, the monks also dedicate themselves to welcoming pilgrims and assisting the poor, to whom they distribute the cafone bread they usually prepare.
The hill of Camaldoli is also an area for producing quality wine and olive oil, and hosts numerous agritourisms and farms. Additionally, it is rich in paths and nature trails, suitable for walks and outdoor excursions.
Pane Camaldoli is very popular in Neapolitan cuisine and is often consumed accompanied by cold cuts, cheeses, or other simple foods. There are different variants of Pane Camaldoli, depending on the area where it is prepared and the personal tastes of the producers, here we offer it with the most traditional dough, made from sourdough from the Morra Bakery which, being tied to hundreds of years of tradition and requiring several days of preparation, gives it an extraordinary taste.

In popular cuisine, this bread is called "criscito", the so-called “crescente” that makes it tasty, healthy, and long-lasting. The Cafone bread from Camaldoli is a very rustic and flavorful bread and, like all typical agri-food products, it can never be missing from Italian tables. Thanks to its versatility, it can accompany appetizers and second courses from Mediterranean cuisine in a versatile way.
We at Spaghetti & Mandolino recommend trying it with cured meats, such as raw ham, salami, or lard, but also with aged cheeses like pecorino or parmesan. This bread is also perfect for pairing with fish, whether cooked or raw. For example, it can be served with a slice of smoked tuna or with anchovies in oil. But it also goes well with vegetables; it is excellent for accompanying grilled vegetables or in salads. Finally, to best appreciate its rustic flavor, it can be simply served with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and spices or with fresh tomato sauce spread on a slice of warm bread and a good glass of Falanghina. In any case, it is important to consider that Camaldoli bread has an intense and rustic flavor, so it should be paired with foods that are not too delicate or subtle.
A couple of curiosities that we need to know when we go to taste it: its nickname is "pane a ott'" because it is good to eat for up to eight days, but above all we must remember to grab "O’ Cuzzetiell" which is the crunchy and round end, the best part!
To fully enjoy the fresh bread, the order will be shipped only at the beginning of the week (on Monday and Tuesday).
