Medjool Dates and Honey Pizza
Medjool Dates and honey both lean sweet, so the pairing doubles down on what each does best instead of competing.
Caramel-sweet Medjool dates add a luxurious, natural sweetness and chewy richness to gourmet pizza. A golden drizzle of honey adds floral sweetness that beautifully balances salty, spicy toppings. On a Brown Butter-Sage Sauce base, the sauce's nutty and toasty character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian.
