Speck and Mushrooms Pizza
Speck is smoky and herby where mushrooms is earthy and umami, and a shared savory streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction.
This cold-smoked, dry-cured ham from the Italian Alps offers a subtly smoky, juniper-scented flavor. 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.
