French chef Benoit Bruel has set a new Guinness World Record for ‘Most Varieties of Cheese on a Pizza” by creating a masterpiece – a pizza with 254 varieties of cheese!
The chef first created the cheesy pizza way back in February but it was only recently that Guinness World Records confirmed and validated that Benoit’s creation had indeed set a new record.
Through patience, diligence, and struggle, Benoit from Déliss’ Pizza, Lyon, France, managed to clinch the title with his visionary pie and took to the restaurant’s social media to share the happy news.
“Youhoooo!” he said. “It took a while but that’s it, the Guinness Book validated my record last Thursday! It’s official!!! My certificate arrives this week as well as the list of cheeses.”
The World Record’s Facebook page shared a video of the chef creating the cheesy pie and though the final cheese list has not been released yet, it does offer some clues.
Some of the varities of cheese that can be seen from the video include Tomme Artisanale Suisse de la Venoge aux truffles, Rocamadour, Manigodine, La Vieielle Louche, Quattrocento, raclette, Picolin, Comté 9 mois, an eight-month Comté 8, and Chaource.
Benoit’s 254-cheese pizza beat Australian chef Johnny Di Francesco’s previous record of 154 cheese varieties.
Speaking to Guinness officials, the chef share that “he thought it was important that the record be held by France, which is known for its cheeses.”
We’re salivating just thinking about how a 254-cheese pizza would taste like! We’d definitely need this pie in our lives!
