Training
The Associazione Vera Pizza Napoletana is an international organization officially established on June 1984 by a group of Neapolitan people seeking to cultivate the culinary art of making Neapolitan pizza. Later on, the association was officially established by the Italian government as a denomination of control (DOC), a designation that made AVPN a legal entity able to give special designation to pizzerias who meet strict requirements that respect the tradition of the art of Neapolitan pizza making.
The mission of AVPN is to promote and protect, in Italy and worldwide, the “true Neapolitan pizza“, as typical product made in accordance with the rules and guidelines described in the International Regulations Book (AVPN DISCIPLINARE) in force since 1984, edited and registered by AVPN.
The Association is also involved in the promotion of equipment and ingredients approved for the production of the “true Neapolitan pizza“ (REGISTER OF APPROVED SUPPLIERS) and the professionalization of the Neapolitan style pizza makers (REGISTER OF THE PIZZA MAKERS).
