Wisconsin Chefs Use Crave Brothers Cheeses in National Pizza Month Challenge

Crave Brothers Farmstead Cheese is marking National Pizza Month this October with a collaboration involving Wisconsin chefs and restaurants to showcase the versatility of its cheeses through creative pizza dishes.

Each participating chef was tasked with developing an original pizza recipe incorporating one or more Crave Brothers cheese varieties. The initiative aims to highlight inventive recipes that move beyond traditional toppings, demonstrating diverse applications for the company's products.

Featured creations include Chef Dana Spandet's "Crave the Flame" from Milwaukee/West Allis, combining Oaxaca cheese with roasted squash and chili honey. Chef Evan Dannells of Madison presents "The Burrata Pie," utilizing fresh burrata and a Calabrian cream sauce. Chef Marlee Crave offers "The Pizza Burger," which integrates fried mozzarella medallions into a burger format.

These special pizzas are available at select restaurants and events throughout October. Crave Brothers Farmstead Cheese, based in Waterloo, Wisconsin, produces fresh mozzarella, mascarpone, Oaxaca, burrata, and farmer's rope string cheese, emphasizing sustainable farming practices.
