Another challenge that home pizza makers face is lactose intolerance. Since so much cheese is used on pizzas, lactose presents a real problem for a lot of people: 75% of the world population is intolerant! (Gaubert, 2017) It is unthinkable for us to serve a pizza without cheese which is why we offer mozzarellas that are naturally lactose-free. During the fermentation process of the cow milk, the lactose is digested by an enzyme called ‘lactase’. Maestrella also offers a large selection of forms of mozzarella (shredded, diced) as well as fat content (40%, 45% or 47%) in order to ensure that you always have melty mozzarella cheese covering your pizza!
In addition to pizza crust, toppings are evolving as well. It is estimated that 6 to 10% of the European population is vegetarian or vegan (European Data Journalism Network, 2019). This is why vegetarian or vegan pizzas are popping up on restaurant menus and have become just as common as the Margherita.
