Speck and Taleggio Pizza
Speck is smoky, savory and herby where taleggio is tangy, rich and earthy, a contrast that keeps every bite interesting.
This cold-smoked, dry-cured ham from the Italian Alps offers a subtly smoky, juniper-scented flavor. A washed-rind Italian cheese that melts into a luxuriously gooey, tangy, and slightly funky layer. On a Truffle Cream Sauce base, the sauce's earthy and aromatic character ties the two together.
