Francia Ilc S.R.L. Mozzarella Di Bufala Campana Dop Cheese, 30g
What it is
This is a small, fresh ball of mozzarella cheese made from the milk of Italian Mediterranean buffaloes. It is produced in the Campania region of Italy and is protected by a Denominazione di Origine Protetta (DOP) designation. This means its production methods and origin are strictly regulated to ensure quality and authenticity. The cheese has a delicate, slightly tangy flavor and a soft, yielding texture.
How people cook with it
Fresh mozzarella is a versatile ingredient that shines in simple preparations. It is best enjoyed when its natural qualities are highlighted.
- Topped on bruschetta
- Added to Caprese salads
- Drizzled with olive oil
- Served with fresh basil
This mozzarella is best served at room temperature to appreciate its full flavor and texture. Gently drain it from its brine and place it on a plate. You can tear it into pieces or slice it, depending on your preference. It pairs wonderfully with ripe tomatoes, fresh basil leaves, and a drizzle of good quality olive oil. It can also be added to cooked dishes just before serving to add a creamy element, but avoid prolonged cooking which can alter its texture.
How it differs from similar foods
Mozzarella di Bufala Campana DOP differs from cow's milk mozzarella due to its richer, creamier taste and slightly more complex flavor profile. Its texture is also softer and more delicate, with a characteristic milky aroma.
Who it is for
