Fontina and Mushrooms Pizza
Fontina is rich where mushrooms is umami, and a shared savory and earthy streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction. The affinity runs both ways, which is why this combination keeps showing up on serious pizza menus.
A buttery, semi-soft Alpine cheese that melts into a silky, nutty layer of golden richness. Earthy, savory mushrooms add a meaty depth and woodsy aroma to pizza. On a Truffle Cream Sauce base, the sauce's earthy and aromatic character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian.
