Castelmagno gives these Piedmontese involtini a sharper mountain cheese character, balanced by mild prosciutto cotto and a clean wine sauce. The cheese must be used with restraint because its salinity and personality intensify as the sauce reduces.

Roman veal rolls emphasize prosciutto, Pecorino Romano and sage. The combination is naturally salty and aromatic, so the sauce stays clean and the initial seasoning remains restrained.

This rolled reinterpretation keeps the Roman saltimbocca core intact: veal, prosciutto and sage. No cheese is added, because the point is to preserve the direct relationship among the three classic flavors while changing only the architecture.
