What does a cow, a sheep, and a buffalo have in common? A pie.

If you have always been partial to white pizzas like myself, then you will agree that the perfect combination of the different cheeses melting on the pie can definitely make any tomato sauce devotee a believer in the power of the white sauce. The interesting thing about white pizzas however, is not the pie itself, but the union of the cheeses usually an impressive trio of Due Latte, Fontina, and Buffala Mozzarella.

Every home has a pizza box stashed somewhere. It has become a staple food by most American homes and has saved thousands of dinner would-be disasters. The idea of being able to call a delivery on your way home or while waiting for your kids from school is just a relief.

Ask any chef and you will get the same answer the key to making an exceptional pizza is the cheese.

Have you ever asked yourself how your favorite pizza would taste like if there was no cheese? Perhaps something close to tomato sauce on flatbread, yes?

Putting the right cheeses on your pizza are just as important as making sure that your oven is at the right temperature. So if you want to have a great tasting pizza, use only the best of cheeses.

Fontina – cow’s milk cheese

Fontina cheese is an Italian cheese that can be semisoft or firm, depending on where it was made and how long it was aged. It can taste mild or intense, pungent or creamy. It is a very popular cheese for Italian cuisines.

All Fontina cheeses are made only from cow’s milk. The milk has to be raw, and be as fresh as possible. It melts really well without ruining its milky flavor, which is why this is a must-have for every pizza. Buy cow’s milk cheese.

Due Latte – sheep

This cheese is from the south of Alba in Northern Italy. Most of the Due Latte cheese sold in grocery stores today is a blend of cow’s and sheep’s milk.

Due Latte cheese is neither salty nor intense. It is creamy and mild, complimenting the incredible milky tone set by the other cheeses. Buy Robiola.

Buffala Mozzarella – buffalo

Saying that a pizza should have mozzarella cheese is an understatement. Yes ordinary mozzarella cheese is creamy, but the buffalo mozzarella is higher in moisture. On top of that, it is richer and much sweeter too!

These three cheeses, the Due Latte, Fontina, and Buffala Mozzarella are the top 3 cheeses that is a must ingredient for any kind of pizza. Perhaps because they all melt well, or perhaps their different tastes compliment each other creating that balance of flavors. Either way, the combination of these three cheeses on a pizza is just plain heaven.

You can get these cheeses at your trusted gourmet cheese shop.
