Reethi Beach Resort, Baa Atoll Maldives Hosts Visiting Chef Salvatore de Rinaldi

Updated 31 October, 2022

Salvatore will be staying at the iconic 4* Reethi Beach Resort in Baa Atoll from 21st October until 29th November 2022 and during this stay, he will be showcasing the traditional art of making Neapolitan Pizza at the resorts’ restaurant ‘Reethi Grill’ on several evenings.

Salvatore was born in Naples in 1970 and started his career early at the family-run restaurant ‘Ristorante Pizzeria Stella’ where he became passionate about the special handling of dough which laid the foundation of his participation in the AVPN, to safeguard the traditions of the true Neapolitan Pizza.

He has since taught his skills to many students of the association and has been a consultant for pizzerias all over the world. He has received several awards for his worthy commitment towards the AVPN and is the author of the book ‘When the kitchen becomes poetry’ which was published in 2014.

Thanks to Salvatore, it was possible to draw a line between the authentic pizza of Naples and its thousands of imitations, so it could spread throughout the world. Today there are almost 500 pizzerias affiliated in all continents that make pizza with natural leavening at room temperature, following the precise indications of the tradition.

‘’It is once again a pleasure to have Chef Salvatore de Rinaldi staying with us to showcase his skills and techniques not only to our valued guests, but also to our staff. We are confident that the guests will enjoy this special culinary adventure that awaits them at Reethi Beach Resort, taking home great memories and significant knowledge on Pizza making shared exclusively by Chef Salvatore which is an opportunity not to be missed” says Denise Schmidt, General Manager, Reethi Beach Resort.

Reethi Beach is located in Baa Atoll, a UNESCO biosphere resort and has been welcoming guests since 1998. The island is a pioneer in the atoll of sustainable tourism and has recently been awarded the Green Globe Certification, demonstrating the long-term environmental commitments of the Resort.
