Once made exclusively of buffalo milk, now more ordinarily made of cow’s milk, Mozzarella is an excellent culinary cheese, perfect for deep-frying, for topping pizzas, or to add its creamy flavour to baked lasagne or macaroni. In Italy, Mozzarella is eaten fresh with its buttermilk dripping from it.
Companion wines: Chianti, Soave, vini dei castelli.
