The San Giorgio Tomato and Mozzarella Calzone is a fried, frozen half-moon of leavened dough filled with mozzarella and tomato, weighing 130 g per piece and supplied in a case of 30 pieces (3.9 kg). It delivers 269.5 kcal per 100 g and is made with margarine free from hydrogenated fats. Cooked straight from frozen at -18 °C, it brings authentic Neapolitan street food to any professional kitchen with consistent portioning and zero waste.
What a fried calzone is
The calzone is a folded pocket of pizza dough whose name in Neapolitan dialect means trouser leg, a reference to its half-moon shape. In the Naples tradition the fried version is a classic of friggitorie and street vendors, where the dough is sealed around its filling and plunged into hot oil until golden and puffed. The result is a crisp shell and a soft, steaming interior, distinct from the baked oven calzone. This San Giorgio product reproduces that artisanal format in a pre-fried, frozen pastry ready for fast service.
The producer
San Giorgio S.p.A. is based in Castel San Giorgio, in the province of Salerno, in the Campania region, the heartland of the Neapolitan baking tradition. The company began in the 1980s as a small pastry laboratory and grew into a specialist of frozen bakery for the food service market, producing both sweet and savoury snacks to bake and fry. Its know-how in leavened and fried specialties stands behind this calzone.
Taste and texture
Each piece offers a golden, fragrant fried crust enclosing a creamy heart of melted mozzarella and tomato sauce. The leavened dough stays soft inside while the surface turns crisp, recreating the balance of the classic Neapolitan filling. Served hot, the mozzarella is stringy and the tomato bright, for an immediate comfort-food appeal.
