The California Milk Advisory Board (CMAB), Tracy, Calif., said it kicked off its 2022 Real California Pizza Contest, the fourth annual search for the best pizza recipes using Real California Cheese.

Through April 24, participants may enter recipes in three categories: Cal-Mex, the REAL Californian and Plant-Forward. Cal-Mex recipes incorporate toppings that fuse flavors from California and Mexican cuisines and feature Hispanic-style cheeses from California, the CMAB said. The REAL Californian will incorporate ideas inspired by the Golden State that showcase California cheeses and toppings. Plant-Forward pizza recipes will emphasize the delicious flavor combinations of fruits, veggies and California cheeses.
