Mozzarella bocconcini are an excellent format to use in the kitchen. Already portioned into small pieces, bocconcini mozzarella is very versatile, perfect for experimenting with new recipes or preparing traditional dishes. Each bocconcino is an explosion of genuine flavor.

Mozzarella bocconcini are ideal for preparing many recipes. The most classic option is breaded and fried mozzarella bocconcini. They can be served on their own as appetizers or paired with tomatoes and basil, or with aged cured meats. We recommend serving bocconcini at room temperature to enhance their authentic flavor and fully appreciate the quality of the mozzarella and the milk.

The buffalo milk selected for its organoleptic properties is heated to a temperature of 85°C. Rennet is then added and the milk is left to rest until it coagulates. Once curdled and rested, the condensed milk is reheated to 45°C to allow the curd to reach the optimal pH. Temperatures and processes are very important to achieve a high-quality product.

Latteria Sorrentina dairy products are made from 100% Italian milk. In addition to origin, it is essential to preserve the milk’s organoleptic properties in order to obtain high-quality products. Finally, the Campanian tradition ensures that all Latteria Sorrentina products are made in strict accordance with traditional methods.

After the curd is obtained, it is covered with hot water at around 80–90°C; the curd becomes compact and is mixed until it is homogeneous. Once the excess water is removed, the skilled hands of the master cheesemakers step in, braiding the pasta filata in such a way as to give the mozzarella its distinctive braided shape.

Braided mozzarella is a true tribute to an ancient dairy-making tradition that involves hand-working pasta filata cheese, which is braided to achieve the typical shape of braided mozzarella. This distinctive shape allows the cheese to retain milk and therefore all of its unmistakable flavor.

As fresh as it is delicious, braided mozzarella is the ideal choice for those looking for a fresh cheese to accompany an aperitif or an appetizer. It pairs perfectly with many traditional Italian first and second courses. Not to mention that braided mozzarella is also suitable for making pizza.

Latteria Sorrentina’s food products for food service are the result of a dairy tradition passed down from generation to generation, always using natural products and 100% Made in Italy ingredients. Contact us to learn more.
