How are mozzarella bocconcini made?

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. Once the milk has coagulated and rested, the condensed mass must be heated to 45°C to allow the curd to reach the optimal pH. Temperatures and processes are very important for achieving a high-quality product.

Why choose Latteria Sorrentina products?

Latteria Sorrentina dairy products come from 100% Italian milk. In addition to origin, it is important to preserve the organoleptic properties of the milk in order to obtain high-quality products. Finally, the Campanian tradition ensures that all Latteria Sorrentina products are made strictly following the rules of tradition.

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.
