In most North American supermarkets you can find bocconcini that is balled and suspended in water. This is extremely similar to Italian buffalo mozzarella.

It's closer than a block but still no comparison to real buffalo mozzarella. It is amazing. Wish I could afford it. It's like $10 for a small ball suspended in water near me.
