We love nothing better than tucking into a classic cheese
Eat it on its own but dip it into your favorite dipping sauces.
Pizza aioli, Sriracha aioli, sour cream, chives sauce, or garlic sauce are all begging for
Serve it with sweet potato fries, peri peri fries, or even masala fries.
Or if you want to feel good, then a simple Italian green salad with a balsamic vinaigrette would be a great choice.

What cheese do I use on a cheese pizza ?

So, in our opinion, they are the best cheese to use, but of course, you can use other cheeses if you prefer.
And if you love goat cheese, then you should check out this goat cheese risotto from Whole Food Bellies!
