class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Quattro formaggi pizza is believed to have originated in Italy's Lazio region in the early 18th century. So while it doesn't have as long of a history as some other Italian pizza varieties, it has still been around for quite some time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The recipe emerged as a creative way for pizza makers to showcase four <a href=\"https:\/\/aglassandahalffullproductions.com\/asiago-cheese-vs-parmesan-cheese\/\">Italian cheeses<\/a> in one dish. The concept allows the flavors and textures of each cheese to shine through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Common_Cheese_Choices\"><\/span>Common Cheese Choices<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned above, <a href=\"https:\/\/aglassandahalffullproductions.com\/muenster-cheese-vs-mozzarella\/\">mozzarella<\/a> is practically always one of the four cheeses used on a quattro formaggi pizza. It helps create the classic pizza texture that people know and love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gorgonzola<\/strong>, a veined <a href=\"https:\/\/aglassandahalffullproductions.com\/blue-cheese-vs-stilton\/\">blue cheese<\/a>, is another extremely popular choice. It adds tanginess and a pleasant funkiness. <strong>Fontina or Gruy\u00e8re<\/strong> offer nutty, sweet flavors while also melting nicely. And <strong>Parmesan<\/strong> brings a touch of sharpness with its salty, granular texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other cheeses sometimes seen on quattro formaggi pizza are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Pecorino Romano<\/strong>: Sharp, salty, tangy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Asiago<\/strong>: Firm, crumbly, nutty<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Provolone<\/strong>: Milky, smooth, mild<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Taleggio<\/strong>: Soft, creamy, earthy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gouda<\/strong>: Sweet, brown-buttery, slightly salty<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The exact <a href=\"https:\/\/aglassandahalffullproductions.com\/blend-cheese-vs-mozzarella-cheese\/\">cheese blend<\/a> will vary depending on the pizzeria. But in general, aim for a mix of textures and flavors to keep things interesting. The contrasts make the pizza really sing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sauce_or_No_Sauce\"><\/span>Sauce or No Sauce?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Quattro formaggi pizza is always focused on highlighting the cheeses. But there is actually some disagreement over whether or not it should have tomato sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some varieties add tomato sauce underneath the cheeses as a base. The acidity and sweetness of the tomatoes pair nicely with the rich cheeses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, other versions forego tomato sauce altogether. The cheese is left to stand completely on its own here, giving it the central spotlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Both styles are considered authentic<\/strong>. It just depends on the pizzeria's preferences. Pizza made without sauce may be called \"white\" quattro formaggi to differentiate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Baking_Tips\"><\/span>Baking Tips<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To make quattro formaggi pizza at home:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Use high-quality cheeses<\/strong>: Splurge on the good stuff to let the flavors shine. <a href=\"https:\/\/aglassandahalffullproductions.com\/grated-mozzarella-cheese-vs-shredded\/\">Pre-shredded cheese<\/a> won't melt as nicely.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Grate the hard cheeses<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/aglassandahalffullproductions.com\/what-is-a-cheese-grater\/\">Grate Parmesan<\/a>, Asiago, etc. so the pieces melt evenly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mix in blue cheese last<\/strong>: Add crumbly blues like gorgonzola right before baking so they don't fully melt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bake at a very high temp<\/strong>: Bake at 500\u00b0F or higher to quickly melt and lightly brown the cheeses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Properly melting the cheeses without burning them can take some practice. But when done right, a beautiful, mouthwatering pie will emerge from the oven!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Key Takeaway:<\/strong> Quattro formaggi features four Italian cheeses - usually mozzarella, gorgonzola, fontina or Gruy\u00e8re, and Parmesan.

Having four cheeses means you get sweet, salty, funky, nutty, sharp tastes all in one bite. The blend keeps your palate intrigued from start to finish.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Textural contrasts enhance the experience<\/strong>. Creamy and oozy mozzarella and taleggio. Crumbly gorgonzola.

Even though there\u2019s a lot going on flavor-wise, the components still complement each other beautifully.

Here are some excellent wine options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Bubbly<\/strong>: The high acidity in sparkling wines like Prosecco or Franciacorta cuts through all that rich dairy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>White<\/strong>: Try a textured white like Chardonnay or even an oaked Sauvignon Blanc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Red<\/strong>: Light-bodied reds work nicely. Valpolicella and Chianti offer fruity contrasts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dessert wine<\/strong>: The sweetness matches up beautifully with the salty, umami-rich cheeses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When in doubt, sparkling is very versatile.

Quattro formaggi <strong>sauces<\/strong> coat noodles in all that cheesy goodness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make it, slowly melt <strong>cream<\/strong> with <strong>garlic<\/strong>, then incorporate the cheeses a little at a time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Taleggio<\/strong>&nbsp;first to form a smooth base<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then&nbsp;<strong>Gruy\u00e8re<\/strong>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<strong>Fontina<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Followed by&nbsp;<strong>Parmesan<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And finally&nbsp;<strong>Gorgonzola<\/strong>&nbsp;right before serving<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Toss the silky, flavorsome sauce with pasta and sprinkle on extra Parmesan.
