Did You Know There Was A Time In Italy When It Was Unheard Of To Mix Seafood Dish With Cheese? See Why!!
Sep 29, 2020
It’s true, seafood and cheese rarely pair together with their respective light and subtle and heavy and palate-dominating natures are best left to other devices. 
Much as Olive Garden would deny it, Italians don’t put Parmigiano, mozzarella, or any other cheese on a dish containing fish. It is an absolute sacrilege. It was blasphemous back in the day to ask anyone to top a seafood dish with grated Parmesan asks any Italian! 
The act of mixing seafood and cheese was unheard of. They didn’t get the memo that cheese is meant for everything! The prohibition on combining seafood and cheese is ancient and strong, but localized. 
The Top Chef judges state this prohibition as if it is a universal rule, but there are dozens of centuries-old dishes combining seafood and cheese beloved outside the United States in Greece, Mexico, France, and even in specific pockets of the U.S. itself. 
To assume that the combination of seafood and cheese is inherently wrong is bizarre, and yet common. So where did it come from? Internationally, there are many, many examples of dishes combining seafood and cheese, some of which are significantly older than the nation of Italy.
