The online 2024 Great Mozzarella Showdown Recipe Contest is a search for new, innovative and commercially-viable foodservice dishes using Mozzarella. There are two categories: the first features Mozzarella as the key ingredient, and the second features Fresh Mozzarella. Recipes cannot contain a pizza or entree menu application, instead focusing on other dayparts and cuisine types such as appetizers, handheld items, flatbreads, salads, etc.
Chefs will select a category and submit a recipe concept. The entry form includes the following:
Judges will review all submissions and select the top four dishes in each category to compete in the finals. Judging criteria will be based on previous contests with a heavy emphasis on the use of California-made Mozzarella cheese. Cheese-centric recipes are paramount to provide diners with a “taste of cheese in every bite”. Evaluation measures will also include recipe innovation and flavor expectations. Two Category Winners will be selected.
