There are also regions of Italy where mozzarella is made using sheep’s milk and sometimes called, “mozzarellapecorella”. More recently, some mozzarella has been produced using goat’s milk in order to offer an alternative for those who have problems digesting cows’ milk.

A few other terms that are good to know are ‘mozzarella affumicata’ which is mozzarella that has been smoked. Bocconcini are small balls of mozzarella and burrata, which is a ball of mozzarella with a cream lling.

Although buffalo mozzarella is very much an Italian specialty, others have given ago to producing their own versions. One such attempt can be found at Laverstoke Park Farm in Hampshire, England. Here the owners have invested a lot in visiting Italy to learn some of the secrets of this renowned cheese and then setting up their own production of English buffalo mozzarella.

The avor, as well as the look of mozzarella, can be in uenced by the diet of the animal from which the milk came from. At Laverstoke, they have been feeding their buffaloes on a special diet of a mixture of 31 herbs, grasses and clovers thus trying to instill in their English buffalo mozzarella a distinctive taste. Who knows, maybe one day it will rival the Italian variety for the crown of best mozzarella in the world.
