Mushrooms and Taleggio Pizza
Mushrooms is umami and savory where taleggio is tangy and rich, and a shared earthy streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction.
Earthy, savory mushrooms add a meaty depth and woodsy aroma to pizza. A washed-rind Italian cheese that melts into a luxuriously gooey, tangy, and slightly funky layer. On a Brown Butter-Sage Sauce base, the sauce's nutty and toasty character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian.
