Rave: Fresh mozzarella

Post by ghostrunner »

By which I mean this:

Bought some this past weekend at a new market here in Indy, and made some Caprese salad with basil and tomatoes. Easily the best I can remember having here in the States. I could have easily eaten the whole thing by itself.

Not sure why but I can't find anyone here in Indy that uses it on pizza. The best pizza I've ever had was in Florence a few years back, and then a place in Prague. Both used this on their pizza, and the regular low-moisture mozzarella that is used in the US pales in comparison. Can't recommend it enough if you make your own pizza.

I've never had fresh mozzarella before, but I thought I remembered seeing someone make it on TV once, so I looked up a recipe. Here's the first step
In a large stock pot add the water and enough kosher salt until it tastes like saltwater.
Ohhhhhh... OK. Put enough salt in the water to make it taste like saltwater. Thanks.

A recipe for the cheese? I've always just bought it. Most groceries here have some version of it, of varying quality.
