Whilst the name ‘Mozzarella’ is traditionally reserved for fresh stringy cheese made exclusively from buffalo milk, the expression ‘Fiordilatte’ (for which denomination of protected origin –DOP - status has been requested) indicates a much more widely available and well known cow’s milk version introduced over the past few decades due to the scarcity of buffalo milk. It is produced in the classic round format and as small ovals or ‘plaits’ (the latter can be preserved for longer by a smoking process) both industrially and by artisan cheese makers where the hand drawing of the paste ensures a less ‘rubbery’ and leathery outcome.
Available in various sizes, including the new version 125 g in cup (0907549)
