How is mozzarella braid made?

After obtaining the curd, it is covered with hot water at about 80–90°C; the curd becomes compact and is mixed until it is homogeneous. Once the excess water is removed, the expert hands of the master cheesemakers intervene, braiding the paste to give the mozzarella its distinctive braid shape.

Why does mozzarella braid have that particular shape?

Mozzarella braid is a true tribute to an ancient cheesemaking tradition that involves the manual processing of stretched-curd paste, which is braided to obtain the typical mozzarella braid shape. The particular shape of the mozzarella braid allows it to retain the milk and therefore all of its unmistakable flavor.

What recipes can be made with mozzarella braid?

As fresh as it is flavorful, mozzarella braid is the ideal choice for those looking for a fresh cheese to accompany an aperitif or an appetizer. It also pairs perfectly with many first and second courses of the Italian gastronomic tradition. Not to mention that mozzarella braid is also suitable for the preparation of pizza.

Processing begins with the selection of the finest milk, which is checked for all its organoleptic properties, from fat content to acidity, as well as protein and lactose levels. The milk is brought to a temperature of 36°C, and then rennet is added. After resting, the milk begins to solidify. The final stage is brining: the mozzarella is left to rest in a solution of water, whey, and salt.

The buffalo milk selected for its organoleptic properties is brought to a temperature of 85°C. Then rennet is added and left to rest so that the milk coagulates.

Which mozzarella is most commonly used for pizza?

Mozzarella is the queen of Campanian dairy products, with many uses. It is one of the best-known specialties of our country and the main ingredient in pizza. The type of mozzarella used for pizza has less water and fat, which makes it suitable for use in pizzerias, because one of the main challenges in making a good pizza is the whey released by the mozzarella during baking. It is therefore essential to choose the most suitable mozzarella for pizza to pair with the dough.
