Taleggio and Pear Pizza
Taleggio is tangy, rich and earthy where pear is sweet and fresh, a contrast that keeps every bite interesting.
A washed-rind Italian cheese that melts into a luxuriously gooey, tangy, and slightly funky layer. Thinly sliced pear adds a delicate, perfumed sweetness and elegant, crisp texture. On a Brown Butter-Sage Sauce base, the sauce's nutty and toasty character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian.
