You never forget your first bite of really good mozzarella.

But, what if I told you that you were lied to about mozzarella? That most mozzarella youโ€™re eating isnโ€™t technically mozzarella?

In Campania (mozzarellaโ€™s birthplace), mozzarella is made only with buffalo milk. If itโ€™s cow milk, itโ€™s a different cheese called fiordilatte (or fior di latte.)

I am not talking about the gelato here (although, thatโ€™s delicious too).

You see that creaminess? Thatโ€™s all from bufala baby.

Yes, this Neapolitan queen - Signora Gentile from Sorrentinoโ€™s The Hand of God - is eating mozzarella.

How do I know?
