Performance Foodservice is pleased to introduce Ultimo!® Fine Shredded Parmesan Cheese to our extensive line up of high quality cheeses under our Roma® Family of Brands portfolio The selection of Roma®, Raffinato®, and Ultimo!® Cheeses brings authentic flavor profiles to any table. These domestic and imported cheeses are traditionally crafted and aged to perfection, yielding the highest quality Italian hard cheeses available. These domestic and imported cheeses are available in grated and shredded varieties. This line of Italian-style hard cheeses is ideal to use in any Italian recipe as well as in many non-Italian dishes.
Italian-style hard cheeses have a lower moisture content than other styles of cheese. This allows for a distinctive texture perfect for grated, or shredded applications. Parmesan Cheese is a hard, granular cheese made from cow’s milk and aged for several months. The aging process gives Parmesan its distinct crumbly texture and rich, savory, umami flavor with hints of nuttiness. Parmesan Cheese is commonly served over pasta dishes, soups, or risotto. Because of its intense flavor, a small amount goes a long way in enhancing dishes.
Pecorino Romano Cheese is a hard, salty, Italian cheese made from sheep’s milk, and known for its sharp, tangy flavor and firm texture. Unlike cow’s milk cheeses, the sheep’s milk gives Pecorino Romano a more pronounced and tangier flavor with a peppery finish. As it ages, the cheese becomes harder, with a crystalline texture that crumbles easily when cut or grated. The salty flavor makes it a popular ingredient for dishes where a strong, savory element is desired. Pecorino Romano is a key ingredient in many Italian dishes. It is most commonly served over pasta dishes like Cacio e Pepe, Carbonara, and Amatriciana, where its sharp, salty flavor balances rich sauces and meats. Its granular texture also makes it perfect for serving over soups, salads, and roasted vegetables.

Authenticity and innovation are the hallmarks of our Performance Foodservice Italian branded items and we are excited to announce four SKUs of authentic Frozen Pinsa Pizza Crusts in our Piancone® portfolio. Pinsa is a traditional Italian pizza style, originating from ancient Rome; known for its light and airy crust that differs from the standard pizza crust in both texture and preparation.
What is a Pinsa?
Piancone® Frozen Pinsa Pizza Crusts differ from traditional crusts by using a mix of flours and a long sourdough fermentation - resulting in a ‘cloudlike’ crust with crisp and chew. Pinsas are literally named for the age-old process of stretching and aerating the dough with the fingers (from the Latin word ‘pinsere.’) After three days of cold fermentation, the dough is hand-stretched to create the iconic fingertipdeep peaks and valleys of the Pinsa crust. As an all-natural, yeast-risen dough free of artificial conditioners and preservatives, store the unopened package in the refrigerator for up to 14 days. Crusts can be frozen. Be sure to bring to room temperature prior to baking for best results.
There are three defining features of a Piancone® Frozen Pinsa Pizza Crust:
Flour Blend - a proprietary combination of wheat and chickpea flour and a well aged sourdough starter give Piancone® Frozen Pinsa Pizza Crusts a crispy exterior and a tender, almost cloud-like interior. Chickpea flour adds additional protein and fiber to our Piancone® Frozen Pinsa Pizza Crusts.
High hydration and long sourdough cold fermentation - Piancone® Frozen Pinsa Pizza Crusts have a higher hydrated dough and undergoes a 72-hour cold fermentation which helps with digestibility, enhances flavor, and produces that signature lightness. The combination of high protein less glutenous grain flours coupled with a long cold leavening process that results in a healthier crust with more fiber and protein and less fat and carbohydrates than traditional pizza crusts!
Crispy and Soft Texture and chew: The combination of flours, hydration, and baking method results in a crust that’s crispy on the outside but chewy and tender.
What’s the best way to cook a Piancone® Frozen Pinsa Crust?
Pre-bake an untopped Piancone® Pinsa Pizza Crusts in a 450-500° oven for 3-5 minutes. Remove from oven and add toppings. Return to your oven for another 5-8 minutes or until desired crispiness is reached.
When Mr. Louis G. Piancone left his mother country of Italy for the American Dream in 1951 he brought with him his love of Italian foods and soon founded what would become the legendary Roma Food. His passion took him far in life and Mr. Piancone, Mr. P as he was affectionately called was a pioneer in procuring high quality Italian foods and making them available to pizzerias and restaurants across America.
The Piancone® Epicureo brand pays homage to Mr. P and is reserved for the premium products with culinary craftmanship that can only be worthy of the Piancone namesake. Piancone® Epicureo Imported Artisan Dry Pasta is one of those products.
Located some 125 miles from Louis’ hometown of Corato, this authentic premium pasta is made in Gragnano, a small Italian town where the art of making pasta dates back centuries. These superior ingredients allow us to create artisan, bronze-die extruded pasta shapes and innovative new varieties. The very best first extraction of durum wheat semolina and water from the “Imbuto” spring are gently kneaded together and extrudes using bronze dies, then finished by a long and delicate drying process conducted at low temperatures to create this exceptionally high-quality artisan pasta with an outstanding texture, flavor and shape. We think this pasta is extraordinary and hope that you’ll enjoy creating masterpieces with this outstanding product.
