This cheese, a type of mozzarella, distinguishes itself through its production process and resulting characteristics. It is crafted exclusively from fresh cow’s milk. Its delicate flavor profile and slightly firmer texture compared to its buffalo milk counterpart make it a favored ingredient in various culinary applications. The cheese’s ability to melt smoothly and evenly contributes to its widespread use.
The use of this particular mozzarella adds a specific quality to the final product. Its lower moisture content, compared to other fresh cheeses, prevents the dough from becoming soggy, enabling the crust to maintain its structural integrity and desired crispness. The subtly sweet and milky flavor complements other toppings without overpowering them, contributing to a balanced taste profile. Historically, cheesemakers have favored it for its reliable performance in high-temperature ovens.
