Traditioneel agrovoedingsproduct, nationale lijst van het Italiaanse ministerie van Landbouw
Mozzarella is a semi-soft non-aged cheese prepared using the pasta filata ('stretched-curd') method. It has a long history in southern Italy, although its precise origins are uncertain.
Varieties of mozzarella are distinguished by the milk used: mozzarella fior di latte when prepared with cow's milk and buffalo mozzarella (mozzarella di bufala in Italian) when the milk of the Italian buffalo is used. Genetic research suggest buffalo came to Italy by migration of river buffalo from India in the 7th century CE.
Fresh mozzarella is generally white but may be light yellow depending on the animal's diet. Fresh mozzarella makes a distinct squeaky sound when chewed or rubbed.
