The dish is anchored on the piadina-style flatbread from Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region, a culinary touchstone for the Italian roots of the hero ingredient: BelGioioso® Shredded Fontina Cheese. “Fontina is known for its creamy and slightly elastic texture when melted,” says Christian Hallowell. “This quality allows it to coat the other ingredients evenly, binding them together for a cohesive, indulgent filling.” The flavor also complements the sweetness of the apples and the richness of the walnuts.
