Specialty Food Makers Adopt a ‘Made in U.A.E.’ Label - NYTimes.com

Rosso Vivo, a two-month-old artisanal pizzeria in Dubai, has the city’s Italian community talking. A tough crowd to please, they appear to have given the cozy restaurant their approval, returning in groups to enjoy a slice of Naples, the Italian city credited as the birthplace of pizza.

A lot about the Rosso Vivo pizzas is actually Neapolitan: the craft, the chef Raffaele Medaglia and even the bricks are shipped from Naples to build the oven.

One exception is the bocconcini mozzarella. It comes from the Italian Dairy Products factory, about 40 kilometers, or 25 miles, from Dubai, within an emerging industrial-free zone in the neighboring emirate of Sharjah.
