Pizzaiolo invents pizza made with 99 different types of cheese

If you're a fan of pizza and cheese, then get ready to drool with this new culinary creation! According to Johanna Leggat of The Guardian news portal, a pizza maker from Melbourne, Australia, has developed a pizza whose filling is prepared with no less than 99 different varieties of cheese!

According to Leggat, the creator of the creation is the famous pizza maker Johnny di Francesco, owner of the popular 400 Gradi pizza place, located in the Australian capital. He has created a cheese mix that has 94 selected varieties from around the world that serves as a base, and five other types - buffalo mozzarella, goat cheese, ricotta, latte fior and scratch - which he uses to finish the pizza. .

Culinary Impossibility

According to Stefanie Tuder of abcNews, di Francesco was inspired by the movie “Ninja Turtles” - one of his favorites - to create the news, as in one of the scenes the characters say that a pizza with 99 cheese would be a culinary impossibility. Before coming to the perfect cheese combination, di Francesco tested six different recipes.

Di Francesco - who this year won a major international pizza competition in Italy - first melts 94 different cheeses in a pan and then cools that mixture to form a solid block. This process takes between 45 minutes and an hour to complete, and because of the time it takes for the new pizza to be prepared, it was served as a special menu item for a single day and at an interval of only two hours.

Gordice

Those who have tasted it say that each variety of cheese - including gorgonzola, pecorino, ripened cheddar, brie and taleggio - has its share in the mix, whether to texture, neutralize or enhance certain flavors. Moreover, despite the huge amount of cheese, the end result is surprisingly balanced without being excessive.

During the day it was available on the menu, more than 100 units were consumed within two hours and, thanks to the success and many requests from customers, di Francesco said he might be able to deliver the news sporadically again. Are you curious about the price of this delight? Each pizza sells for AUD 23, and if you're not the over-the-top type, you can share it with someone.
