Truffle Paste Pizza: Five Excellent Topping Ideas

Pizza is already doing very well for itself. Truffle paste simply gives it a promotion.

The earthy flavour of mushroom and truffle paste pairs particularly well with cheese, potatoes, mushrooms, caramelised onion and roasted vegetables.

How to add truffle paste to pizza

Truffle paste can be spread thinly over the base, mixed into the sauce or added in small spoonfuls after baking.

Avoid covering the entire pizza with a thick layer. Truffle paste is concentrated, and pizza still deserves to recognise itself.

1. Mushroom and mozzarella

Spread the base with truffle paste loosened with olive oil. Add mozzarella and sliced mushrooms, then bake until golden.

Finish with parsley, rocket or cracked pepper.

2. Potato and rosemary

Top the base with thinly sliced potato, rosemary, olive oil and mozzarella or vegan cheese.

Add small spoonfuls of truffle paste after baking.

3. Caramelised onion and goat cheese

Pair caramelised onion with goat cheese, mozzarella and a modest amount of truffle paste. Its earthy savouriness balances the sweetness beautifully.

4. Vegan mushroom pizza

Combine Gourmet Italia Vegan Black Truffle Paste with mushrooms, plant-based mozzarella, thyme and roasted garlic.

Check that every topping meets your dietary requirements.

5. Prosciutto and rocket

Bake the base with mozzarella and mushrooms. Add prosciutto, rocket and truffle paste after it leaves the oven.
