Since then, it has undergone many transformations and ever new interpretations. The introduction of unusual ingredients, such as pears and gorgonzola, reflects the incessant desire for innovation and openness towards new tastes. The pears, sweet and juicy, they offer a natural texture and a soft consistency to the dish. The gorgonzola, a soft blue cheese, adds a bold contrast, with its savory, creamy note. Therefore, the tasting offers a unique balance between sweet and salty, soft and creamy.
