Five Best Cheeses to Top Your Pinsa With

Whether you choose a classic mozzarella or a fresh goat’s milk chevre, the top-abiliites are endless when your base is an authentic Pedone Pinsa crust! From bakeable, spreadable, and sprinkle-able delicacies, these five cheeses are exquisite when paired with fresh toppings on a par-baked pinsa crust. 

  1. Fresh Mozzarella

Classico! Fresh mozzarella on a pinsa is an Italian classic. This cheese is not only highly versatile, but it’s deliciously mellow flavor also complements its accompaniments perfectly. Fresh basil, vibrant tomatoes, tangy balsamic glaze, nutty pesto, and Prosciutto di Parma are just a few great pairings. When dispersed atop a pinsa crust and baked to perfection, fresh mozzarella melts into a crave-worthy creation!

  1. Ricotta

Ricotta is a mild, creamy cheese that, when placed atop a pillowy pinsa crust, creates a divine slice of heaven. Whether you’re making a sweet or savory pinsa, this spreadable Italian cheese is ideal for fusing various flavors together. Top with fresh fruits, nuts, and honey for a delectable dessert, or garnish with spicy Italian sausage and fresh herbs for a savory sensation. Either way, you can never go wrong with a ricotta-topped pinsa. 

  1. Chèvre

Chèvre is a deliciously fresh goat’s milk cheese that can be crumbled atop a finished pinsa or spread across as a base. Chèvre pairs exquisitely with savory selections such as root vegetables, caramelized onions, or roasted nuts. However, it also has a knack for complementing sweet toppings like honey, figs, and fresh berries. No matter the toppings, the rich and creamy notes of chèvre pairs beautifully with the crisp, cloud-like texture of Pedone Pinsa!

  1. Burrata

Burrata is a level-up from traditional mozzarella! This decadent, buttery cheese adds not only a delicious taste, but also a unique texture to your pinsa creation. Filled with fresh cream and stracciatella, burrata is best when topped onto a pinsa fresh out of the oven. Its luxurious flavor profile pairs perfectly with arugula, peaches, or tomatoes.

  1. Feta

With a salty, tangy taste, feta brings a one-of-a-kind flavor to your pinsa! This Greek cheese serves as the focal point on any Mediterranean dish. Craft your own Mediterranean-inspired pinsa with tzatziki sauce, cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, fresh dill, and crumbled sheep’s milk feta to top—buon appetito!
