Why It Works

Mozzarella di Bufala Campana

Campania — Cheese & Dairy

Refrigerating and serving cold (kills the flavour and texture). Using cow's milk fior di latte when buffalo is specified. Slicing instead of tearing. Storing without liquid. Cooking at too high temperature (becomes rubbery). Buying 'mozzarella' that isn't genuine DOP.

Turkish örgü peyniri (pulled cheese)
Mexican Oaxaca cheese (pasta filata logic)
Burrata (stuffed mozzarella evolution)
