Description Cheese-Mozzarella Fiordillatte 1.2kg Mozzarella Fior di Latte – 1.2kg (Catering Pack) Product Overview Fior di Latte (translated as “Flower of Milk”) is the traditional Italian term for fresh mozzarella made exclusively from high-quality cow’s milk, distinguishing it from Mozzarella di Bufala. The 1.2kg format is a specialized catering size commonly produced by boutique South African dairies like Zandam or Puglia Cheese. It is prized for its soft, elastic texture and high moisture content, which creates a superior melt and a fresh, milky flavor profile. Key Features 100% Cow’s Milk: Often made using creamy Jersey milk in South Africa (notably by Zandam), resulting in a richer flavor and a natural pale-yellow tint compared to industrial white mozzarella. Hand-Stretched (Pasta Filata): Produced using the traditional “stretched curd” method, ensuring a delicate, pull-apart texture that is tender rather than rubbery. Superior Melting: Because of its fresh, “unripe” nature and balanced moisture, it melts into a smooth, silky pool without becoming excessively oily—perfect for the “Napoli style” pizza. Pure & Natural: Typically free from the starches and anti-caking agents found in pre-grated loaf cheeses, offering a cleaner, more authentic dairy taste. Versatile Format: The 1.2kg pack usually consists of several large balls (ovoline) or a single large log (filone) submerged in a light brine to maintain freshness. Specifications Weight: 1.2kg (Nett Weight) Type: Fresh Full Cream Mozzarella (Fior di Latte) Ingredients: Pasteurized Cow’s Milk, Salt, Non-Animal Rennet, Starter Cultures. Certifications: Most local premium brands (Zandam/Puglia) are Halaal certified and suitable for vegetarians. Storage: Keep refrigerated. Must remain submerged in its brine; once opened, use within 2–3 days for the best experience. Ideal For Authentic Neapolitan Pizza: The gold standard topping for a Margherita; it provides the classic “white islands” look on a tomato base. Caprese Salad: Slice thick and layer with heirloom tomatoes, fresh basil, and extra virgin olive oil. Gourmet Sandwiches: Perfect for high-end panini or ciabattas where the cheese needs to be soft and milky at room temperature. Pasta al Forno: Add chunks to baked pasta dishes just before they come out of the oven for a gooey, fresh finish.
