The making of buffalo mozzarella in Campania
Dea Luna buffalo mozzarella is produced and packaged by hand by means of a process of acidification of the milk at room temperature through the addition of calf rennet. This process brings the mixture to coagulation in about thirty minutes at a temperature of 34- 36° C. The curd is then “broken” until walnut-sized granules are obtained. These are then ripened by leaving them in the whey for several hours and then cut into thin slices or ground and placed to drain and ripen for another 30 minutes before being spun. This last process is very delicate because the slices (or mince) are placed in a container and melted by adding boiling water. At this point, the melted paste is lifted and stretched until a homogeneous and shiny dough with a stringy consistency is obtained. The cheesemaker then makes the most varied shapes, which can be morsels, cherries, knots or plaits. After shaping, these products are poured into water for a few minutes before being transferred to special vats for salting.
How to taste buffalo mozzarella
Like all good and beautiful handmade things, you need to know how to eat it and above all how to preserve it.
Dea Luna, was born in the Piana di Paestum and, according to our cheese-making tradition, the salting of mozzarella takes place by osmosis so, to give it a more salty taste, it is advisable to eat it a few hours after production, paying attention to the fact that the larger the size, the longer it has to sit in its brine. Finally, in order to better appreciate its aroma and organoleptic characteristics, it should be eaten at a temperature of around 16 degrees, by heating or cooling it by immersing it, in its packaging, in a basin filled with water, hot or cold, depending on the season.
Like all products approved by “Casadalessio”, Mozzarella Dea Luna is selected and strictly controlled in order to offer the consumer a high quality product.
