Product Description
Unpasteurised Buffalo Mozzarella
1 Ball
You may find Laverstoke's buffalo mozzarella is firmer than the mozzarella you are accustomed to eating in the UK. This is due to the freshness. The fresher the cheese, the more elastic and springly the curd. As the cheese ages it becomes softer.
The distinguishing features of a superior fresh mozzarella are all in the taste.
How should you eat it?
Consider the firmness of the mozzarella before deciding how you are going to eat it.
It is very firm - serve it as eaten in Italy, completely naturally - simply cut in half and eaten with your fingers! When mozzarella is really fresh, you will experience a burst of freshness, the milk will ooze out... Southern Italians say that if you don't have a mess on your face, you aren't eating mozzarella! This is what fresh mozzarella is really about.
If it is less firm it is best eaten as Insalata Caprese - with tomato, fresh basil and olive oil - a wonderful Italian antipasto (starter) - for a variety you can add olives, balsamic vinegar, garlic.
And if you haven't managed to eat it whilst it was very firm - it is still lovely if you add it to your Tomato Pasta. But in a nutshell once you are ready to serve it, tear the ball of mozzarella into chunks and add to the sauce. Tear a handful of basil leaves and add to the sauce. Turn off the heat - Pour over the pasta. Mmmh...delicious!

LOVE IT, LOVE IT
SO SO pleased that ocado are now stocking some raw dairy products. They also sell a raw french butter. More shops need to start doing this. When are they going to be allowed to sell raw milk?

Mozzarella made in the UK?
Call me old fashioned, but this product shouldn't be called mozzarella. Unsurprisingly, its taste didn't even vaguely remind me of Italian unpasteurised buffalo mozzarella. On the paper packaging the word "Italian" is used quite a few times, giving misleading indications on where the product actually comes from. The next level of greenwashing?
