Italian Cheese – Mozzarella

Posted on October 29th, 2008 by admin

Mozzarella is a cow’s milk cheese and is one of a few cheeses that really have two forms of “fresh”. True fresh mozzarella is made from whole cow’s milk, formed into balls and typically stored either in water, brine or whey to maintain its sharp white color and freshness. A delightful fresh mozzarella tasting experience is insalata caprese – a simple combination of fresh mozzarella, tomato, basil and olive oil. The second form of fresh mozzarella is typically mass-produced as a soft cheese with greater elasticity than true fresh mozzarella. This form of mozzarella is typically produced in a block form or pre-shredded.
