Not far from us, near Castel Vecchio, a unique place La Contadina with the freshest mozzarella arriving at 4am daily straight from Naples. Note: mozzarella taken from the fridge is not genuine. La Contadina features traditional mozzarella transported and stores in big tins with brine and fished out of tins right before serving. Keeping mozzarella in a fridge is considered inappropriate – it is well–preserved in brine and is served non–cooled.
