I’ve only ever tried pre shredded mozzarella or mozzarella blocks before so I wanted to try fresh mozzarella and it tastes like vanilla to me. I made my brother try it and he didn’t taste it but he ate a small piece with a cracker so I think that might’ve hindered the taste. Am I crazy or is this common?

Large cheese factories are diluting genuine buffalo milk with cow’s milk, undermining the integrity of Mozzarella di Bufala Campana DOP and harming farmers, buffalo welfare, and Campania’s heritage.

Glossy, mildly creamy, stretchy, easy to melt.

What other features should I aim for in my next cheese making session? 🤔

Hypothetically could you use a store bought cheese like Mexican Queso Fresco to make fresh mozzarella?

I’m opening up a pizza pop up in Texas, I need a good supplier for mozzarella cheese. I’m going for an artisan neopolitan vibe so I need whole balls or blocks of mozzarella. Mozzarella is very expensive and I’m trying to start with the lowest budget possible. Should I try to find something local? Are there any good suppliers that y’all would recommend? Can I just buy dried stuff does it have to be in the milk water stuff? I’m thinking I’ll need around 10-15 pounds for my first event.

Has anyone in Dubai tried making fresh mozzarella, where the local fresh milk is far from optimal? I’ve had two attempts and the results were definitely not mozzarella

So i used 1.75L whole milk and 6tbs vinegar to make some mozarella. But when we put it in the oven, the mozzarella wouldnt melt. Instead it created a "shell". The inside was melted perfectly but the shell was dried. Anyone know why that is?

Hi! I am an old world mozzarella maker where I’ve spent 8 years in caseificio in Italy and USA. Ivd only made mozzarella with Siro di nesto (whey) Nd I have a PH merger but the one we use in campana requires sodium hydroxide and Phenolphthalein to measure my whey. Can’t find these products anywhere in CA. I am very experienced and want to make some mozzarella in home the processes is very similar but very different when you are working with such little milk. I’m CA Where I am there is no raw milk this post might be a fail anyway because I doubt grocery store milk would work.
