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.
