Frequently Asked Questions
Should I use Cotija as the only cheese on a Gochujang Cream pizza?
While Cotija brings wonderful flavor, it works best as a featured cheese alongside a base layer of mozzarella. The mozzarella provides the stretchy, melty texture pizza needs, while Cotija adds its distinctive character. Distribute it in dollops or scattered pieces for the best balance.

Corn and Scallion are excellent companions for this combination. Corn adds a complementary flavor dimension, while Scallion provides additional contrast that rounds out the overall pizza. You can use all three toppings together for a well-balanced pie.
