Another user, “Awww, looks like me when I was a baby. Haha. Adorable. I love good mozzarella too.” A third user, “Mozzarella: The key ingredient to activate any Italians innate ability to speak with your fingers.”A fourth user, “Cheese is the best food invention ever! She’s cute and smart!”The story of Italian cheese goes way back. In ancient times, small pastoral communities started settling across different parts of the country. They discovered that turning milk into cheese kept it from spoiling and made it taste even better. Over time, they learned different ways to make cheese, creating all sorts of flavours and textures. Cheesemaking slowly became part of everyday life in Italy, something tied to its land, traditions, and people.Mozzarella has a history that stretches to the 12th century. This one is special because it’s made from the milk of water buffalo, not cows. The result? A soft, stretchy ball of creamy goodness. The taste is mild, delicate, fresh, perfect for a caprese salad, on top of pizza, or just eaten as it is.
