Frequently Asked Questions
Should you use real truffle or truffle oil on pizza?
Fresh shaved truffle is the ultimate luxury but extremely expensive. High-quality truffle oil or truffle paste made with real truffle pieces offers a more accessible way to add authentic truffle flavor to pizza.
What cheese pairs best with truffle on pizza?
Fontina is the classic choice because its buttery, nutty flavor complements truffle without competing with it. Parmesan and a soft egg yolk also create wonderful truffle pizza combinations.
