Speck and Fontina Pizza
Speck is smoky and herby where fontina is rich and earthy, and a shared savory 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.
This cold-smoked, dry-cured ham from the Italian Alps offers a subtly smoky, juniper-scented flavor. A buttery, semi-soft Alpine cheese that melts into a silky, nutty layer of golden richness. On a Truffle Cream Sauce base, the sauce's earthy and aromatic character ties the two together.
