Fior di latte mozzarella
Description
Mozzarella fior di latte is a fresh, Italian mozzarella made from cow's milk with a delicate, milky flavor and a creamy, elastic texture. Its white, slightly shiny body is moist and soft, with a subtle hint of milk sweetness and mild acidity, making it suitable for many dishes. It is a valuable source of high-quality protein, calcium, and B vitamins, and contains relatively less fat than buffalo mozzarella, which supports bone health and muscle recovery with moderate consumption. In the kitchen, fior di latte is perfect for pizza, in caprese salad, on sandwiches, in casseroles, and light pasta dishes, where it melts beautifully and adds creaminess. To maintain freshness, store it in the refrigerator in brine or its original packaging, consume within a few days of opening, and avoid freezing, which deteriorates the texture.
