Did you know that…?
Mozzarella is the most important and known representative of stringy cheeses, produced and appreciated in Italy and all over the world.
Mozzarella has its old story that is dated back to Medieval age.
Its area of origin is the plain of Naples, where buffalo cattle produced a very white milk which, because of the primitive conditions of transports and of milk, reached the manufacturing sites in very sour conditions determining the plastic conditions of the curd.
Its name probably derives from the verb “mozzare” which means “to cut” and that reminds the action of the manufacturer of cutting (for this reason is called mozzarella) a piece as big as a fist from the string of dough manufactured.
