MOZZARITA, INC. Information

Mozzarita offers the freshest Italian-style cheeses, following years-long traditions brought directly by our proprietors from Italy. Among the fresh, Italian cheese we offer are Mozzarella Fior di Latte, Fior di Latte (smoked), Ovolini, handmade Trecce Braid, handmade Nodini Knots, Scamorza, fresh Ricotta, Ciliegine Cherry, Sfoglia di Mozzarella, Bocconcini, Burrata, and Mozzarella di Bufala. Mozzarita's fiore di latte (cow's milk mozzarella), ricotta and burrata start with pasteurized milk. Mozzarella is derived from the verb mozzare, meaning to cut, as the large mass of curd is cut into small pieces once the milk is curdled using a citric acid and salt solution. To make the cheese, curds are added to hot whey (the liquids from the drained curds) and stirred until the curds melt and start to form a smooth, shiny mass.
