MOZZARELLA

Packed in water with a salty finish, this is a firm yet creamy cheese. When melted on a pizza, fresh mozzarella has a rich taste, but tends to release moisture – which can leach into the crust making it a bit soggy.

Fresh mozzarella may not be prime for pizza meltability, but its salty and tangy taste are crowd-pleasers for salads, sandwiches and cheeseboards. There are many varieties to choose from including:

Mozzarella bocconcini – This translates into “little mouthfuls” – these little balls are perfect for canapes, salads and pastas

Mozzarella ciliegine – “Small cherries” – smaller than bocconcini, ciliegine can be used in similar recipes as well as marinated on their own or as fried bites.

Burrata – Mozzarella that has been stretched. This cheese has a deliciously creamy center. It lends itself well to salads and starters and can be highlighted by a drizzle of smoked honey or tangy vinegar reduction. Vegetables and crusty bread are wonderful delivery vehicles for burrata.

Whether you are looking for the ideal pizza or the freshest salad, there is a mozzarella that can escalate your recipe to the next level. Our vast portfolio of mozzarellas can help you achieve any of these crowd-pleasers.
