Rustic Sourdough Pizza with Figs, Truffle Honey, Gorgonzola, and Parma Ham
– Cathedral Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon
The first time I tasted the combination of strong blue cheese with truffle honey on warm bread was at a quaint Italian market during the peak of summer. It sent me straight to heaven, and I loved every little morsel of the serving. When thinking about this pizza, my mind immediately returned to that charming Italian market. With figs and the glorious bounty now available in this harvest season, it just made complete sense.
We opt for a sourdough base, but any quality pizza base will do. You can even ask your favourite local pizza spot for pre-baked bases to freeze them, making your life a lot easier.
