Which cheese goes in piadina?
When talking about traditional piadina romagnola, the cheese that immediately comes to mind is undoubtedly Squacquerone: a fresh, creamy cheese with a delicate flavor that melts beautifully, creating an irresistible pairing with warm piadina. Its slightly tangy taste pairs perfectly with prosciutto crudo and arugula, one of the most classic and beloved fillings among piadina lovers.
However, if you want to stand out and offer something truly original in your venue—without sacrificing flavor, of course – the alternatives for making your piadine irresistible are many. The possibilities are endless. Let’s see, then, which cheese to use for piadina to win over your customers’ palates and, above all, where to find the best options on the market.
Cheese for piadina: all the tasty variations to surprise your customers
To stand out and offer a unique gastronomic experience in your venue, you can enrich your recipes with high-quality fresh cheeses. Latteria Sorrentina offers a selection of products that pair perfectly with piadina, allowing you to create delicious and refined combinations:
- Piadina with ricotta: lightness and flavor
Latteria Sorrentina ricotta, soft and creamy, is perfect for a light yet flavorful piadina. Its delicate taste allows for both sweet and savory pairings. A winning idea? Ricotta, honey, and walnuts for a refined piadina, ideal as a brunch option or an alternative dessert. If you prefer a savory filling, try it with spinach sautéed in a pan with a drizzle of oil and a sprinkle of black pepper, for a balanced and nutritious vegetarian version.
Piadina with fiordilatte: fresh and stringy
Fiordilatte is a fresh cow’s milk mozzarella with an authentic flavor, ideal for adding a pleasant note of freshness to piadina. Slightly melting when in contact with the warm piadina, it creates a stringy texture your customers will love. For a Mediterranean-style pairing, try it with sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. If you want to be more daring, add anchovies in oil for a savory, enveloping note.
Piadina with stracciatella: enveloping creaminess
Stracciatella cheese is one of the most indulgent choices for filling piadina. Thanks to its creaminess and rich, enveloping flavor, it works perfectly with both delicate and bold pairings. For a balanced filling, try it with grilled zucchini and a drizzle of lemon-infused extra virgin olive oil. If you’re looking for a more intense flavor combination, pairing it with mortadella and chopped pistachios is a true explosion of taste, perfect for winning over even the most demanding palates.
Piadina with scamorza: bold flavor
White or smoked scamorza offers a more intense flavor, ideal for those who love bold tastes. Its firm texture and smoky aroma pair perfectly with strong-flavored ingredients. A winning combination? Smoked scamorza, speck, and sautéed mushrooms: a savory, well-balanced mix that makes every bite a unique experience. If you’re looking for a vegetarian option, pair white scamorza with grilled eggplant and roasted peppers for a dish rich in flavor and color.
