Buffalo-milk Mozzarella has a soft and springy texture with signs of leafing. The color is porcelain white and has a delicate aroma. It is well worth the extra time and cost of seeking it out.
Italian Mozzarella is produced in small, almost oval-shaped balls and it is stored in bowls or in sealed bags of whey. We also have a 9 oz / 250 grams piece of Mozzarella.
The texture of the young cheese is quite elastic and supple and can be sliced reasonably easily. As it ripens, it becomes rather softer. It also increases in flavor. However, you should not allow this process to go too far or the cheese will deteriorate.
