When it comes to gourmet pizza, the crust and sauce are just the beginning. The true artistry lies in the toppings, and among the most exciting innovations is the use of exotic cheeses. While mozzarella has long been the foundation of classic pies, adventurous pizzaiolos are now turning to global cheese varieties to elevate flavor, texture, vegas108 login and experience.

One standout is heritage pecorino della Sardegna. Its sharp, salty tang cuts through rich toppings like caramelized pumpkin or prosciutto di Parma, adding complexity without domination.

Another is creamy burrata pouch, the soft inner stracciatella-filled marvel. When placed on a hot pizza just before serving, it dissolves into silky ribbons, offering a rich counterpoint to smoky, crisp toppings.

Even more unexpected are cheeses like Spanish blue cheese from León, a Spanish blue cheese with a bold, tangy punch that transforms a simple pizza with dried figs and smoked almonds into a culinary revelation.

Or the Norwegian Gjetost, a caramelized goat cheese with a sweet, fudge-like consistency that surprises diners when melted over a pizza topped with sliced ham and peppery greens.
