Mozzarella (Italy)

Mozzarella
Italy is known for its famous cheeses. But Mozzarella stands out amongst them all. Made from pulled curds of water buffalo milk (traditionally speaking, that is), this cheese is a labor-intensive process. (Here’s a recipe!) For starters, the curds are heated in warm water, stretched and massaged until smooth, and then rolled into balls. This mild cheese can be enjoyed on it’s own with a bit of seasoning, or melted to cheesy perfection!
