the curds are chopped and boiling water is added. the result is incredible. it's like he's a magician. do you know what i mean? in italian, "mozzare" means "to cut off" and this ancient process gives the cheese its name. the mozzarella then rests in a salt bath for a few hours. unlike other cheeses which get better with age, mozzarella is best eaten fresh. which is great news for me. oh my god!
