Cultural Note
The name comes from 'mozzare' (to cut), referring to how the cheese is torn by hand from the curd. True mozzarella di bufala is made from water buffalo milk in Campania and is worlds apart from industrial cow's-milk versions. It should be eaten within hours of production, at room temperature, never refrigerator-cold.
