Mozzarella
Fresh Italian stretched-curd cheese; milky and mild with a supple, elastic texture.
Where it comes from
Hailing from Southern Italy, mozzarella has roots in ancient cheese-making traditions, with the famed buffalo mozzarella tracing its lineage back over 1,000 years.
In the kitchen
Melted atop pizzas or sliced in salads, mozzarella provides a luscious texture and subtle flavor that enhances the freshness of tomatoes and herbs.
Across cuisines
Mozzarella (Venezuelan-style queso blanco) is the cheese for tequeño (the breadstick-and-cheese finger food that opens every Venezuelan party), and the canonical filling for the arepa reina pepiada and dominó (black-bean-and-cheese). The Venezuelan llanos dairy tradition produces a softer, saltier mozzarella than the Italian version.
