How to Use Goat Cheese in Classic Italian Dishes

Italian cooking is full of familiar flavours that pair naturally with goat cheese: ripe tomatoes, fragrant basil, roasted vegetables, mushrooms, olives, herbs and pesto, to name just a few. Exploring goat cheese in Italian cuisine does not mean replacing the cheeses traditionally associated with these dishes. Instead, it offers another way to interpret familiar favourites — bringing creaminess, a distinctive flavour or a different texture while preserving the character of the original dish.

From pizza and pasta to risotto and bruschetta, the key is choosing the right type of goat cheese for the role you want it to play.
