Classic mozzarella (mozzarella di bufala campana) is made from buffalo milk (from black buffalo), and is a fresh and soft Italian cheese. It belongs to the DOP (Denominazione di Origine Protetta) brand name.
The color of the cheese is porcelain-white, the inside is supple and pasty. It has a subtle milky-sweet taste.
Mozzarella is the traditional main ingredient for pizza. It is also consumed as an addition to many types of salads or baked on a slice of tomato and with a leaf of basil.
