BelGioioso Cheese: The High-Quality Pizza Cheese Experts
Pizza Expo Booth #3381
(Green Bay, Wis.) – BelGioioso Cheese, leader in the Fresh Mozzarella category, is excited to introduce new innovative offerings and showcase their broad line of pizza cheeses at the 2024 Pizza Expo in Las Vegas March 19th – 21st.
BelGioioso offers several types of Fresh Mozzarella that can be used for pizza, including their NEW Baking Fresh Mozzarella and NEW Shredded Fresh Mozzarella.
New Baking Fresh Mozzarella is specially formulated for high heat with lower moisture allowing the cheese to melt evenly and quickly. New Shredded Fresh Mozzarella is an innovative option of Fresh Mozzarella, that is pre-shredded in 5 lb. bags, eliminating the need for extra labor in food preparation. The shreds ensure consistent portion sizes and coverage across pizzas leading to a more uniform distribution of cheese.
Other options include both water pack and thermoform packaged balls, logs, Ovolini, Bocconcini, Ciliegine and Pearl sizes. A Smoked Fresh Mozzarella is also available packaged in thermoform as a ball or log, and as a pre-shredded blend with Low Moisture Mozzarella in 5 lb. bags.
Demand for Margherita pizza has been consistent the past 5 years. According to Datassentials SNAP trends, it is predicted to grow 8% in the next 3 years. Fresh Mozzarella is the preferred cheese on a Margherita pizza.
While Fresh Mozzarella remains relevant and popular, we see continued interest in Burrata and Stracciatella Burrata Filling. Burrata is a fantastic addition to pizza, offering a creamy, indulgent texture that pairs well with various toppings. Burrata is often added after the pizza is cooked. Some operators prefer the Stracciatella for easier use as a pizza topping. Both are delicious and the best option truly depends on the aesthetic needs for the finished pizza.
BelGioioso offers several types of Burrata and Stracciatella that are perfect for pizzas and appetizers, including a
New 2 lbs. Cup of Stracciatella Burrata Filling, Burrata Balls in 3 sizes; 2 oz., 4 oz., 8 oz., and a flavored Burrata with Black Truffles.
Another Mozzarella option is the Polly-O Perfect Pizza Loaf, a unique blend with a higher butterfat content for better melting and reheating qualities and less residual oil. The results offer a more indulgent and flavorful topping for pizzas.
Brands like BelGioioso and Polly-O are known for their consistent quality and performance, ensuring that Operators maintain their high standards. This reliability is crucial, especially in pizza settings where consistency is key to customer satisfaction and loyalty.
Overall, using high-quality cheeses like Fresh Mozzarella, Burrata and others can significantly enhance the flavor, texture, appearance and perceived value of pizzas, making them stand out as premium options on any menu. Visit our booth #3381 on the Pizza Expo floor.
