STYLE with Shredded Whole Milk Bacio Cheese STUFFED PIZZA with Sliced Whole Milk Bacio & Italian Sausage A Taste of Italy | page 6 holding it all together CHEESE BASICS One of the most important ingredients in any pizza is the cheese. The hands down most common pizza cheese is Mozzarella. But, when it comes to choosing your perfect pizza cheese, there are a lot of things to consider. Mozzarella is Italian for "spun paste," pasta filata refers to the stretched-curd cheeses made famous in Italy, such as Mozzarella, Provolone and String Cheese. Such cheeses are made using a special technique whereby the curd is given a hot whey bath, then kneaded and stretched to the desired pliable consistency (think of pulled taffy). The Pasta Filata process is what gives cheese the smooth, creamy texture and the stretch. But, not all pizza cheese is purely Mozzarella. We have plenty of traditional Mozzarella cheese options, fresh and low-moisture. However, we do have many cheese products that are known as “Pizza Cheese.” These are Mozzarella cheeses that are specially formulated to perform better when used for pizza. Our pizza cheese is made with our patented process which enables ideal melt and performance attributes across variety of pizza cook platforms by adding functional ingredients, such as modified food starch. Can’t decide which cheese to use? You can test them out and see or just go through your preferences with your Performance Foodservice - Maryland sales representative. They will be able to point you in the right direction. If you want to test it yourself, get samples and perform the following tests. Make a pie with everything the same except cheese blends and see what works best for your operation. A Taste of Italy | page 7 N.Y.
