In 1522, tomatoes were imported from South America to Italy for the first time. At first, tomatoes were considered to be toxic. Fortunately, in the 17th century, the weaker peasants of the area gradually resolved their reservations regarding tomatoes and started applying them to the bread dough, producing the first pizzas. Mozzarella cheese was steadily gaining ground as the success of the tomato became universal. Only after water buffalo were introduced from India in the 7th century did Mozzarella become usable in Italy (mozzarella was first made with water buffalo milk). Its prominence developed quite slowly until the second half of the 18th century, but it was not until 1889 that cheese and tomatoes came together on a pizza. In 1889, a pizza with mozzarella cheese and basil, ingredients bearing the colours of the Italian flag, was invented by an Italian tavern owner named Don Raffaele Esposito. He called it Margherita Pizza, after Margherita Teresa Giovanni, the Queen of Italy. Therefore the modern-day tomato-and-cheese pizza was born.
