A blend of 80% buffalo and 20% cow’s milk is used to make this pasta filata or ‘stretched curd’ style of cheese. The curd is hand-stretched which allows it to be moulded into the desired shape, in this case, traditional balls of mozzarella.
A gentle smoking over traditional Beechwood imparts a smoky flavour and a golden colour to each ball of spun curd. Smoked buffalo mozzarella is delicious enjoyed on a cheese platter or to add complexity to a salad.
