A blend of 80% buffalo and 20% cow’s milk is used to make this pasta filata or ‘stretched curd’ style of cheese. Pasta filata styles require skill and the ability to ‘read’ the cheese over each production step. First farm fresh milk is pasteurised before non-animal rennet and starter cultures are added to transform it into a custard-like consistency which is then carefully cut by hand at just the right moment, to separate the curds and the whey. The curd is next hand-stretched which allows it to be moulded into the desired shape, in this case, traditional balls of mozzarella.
Under the spun layers of this mixed-milk cheese, you will find the texture is soft and supple with a milky flavour. Add to pizza, salads such as traditional Caprese, or warm vegetable dishes and soups.
