Taralli with Calabrian Chili Pepper
Fragrant wheat flour and extra virgin olive oil meet the spicy notes of Calabrian chilli pepper.
DiscoverThis is the age-old mozzarella that monks in Campania used to make from milk from buffalo allowed to graze freely under the moon, to make it even more flavoursome. Stretched by hand, there's something magical about its unmistakable flavour, whether you enjoy it as it is, or use it to make truly special first or main course dishes.
Only "Italian Mediterranean buffalo" milk with Protected Denomination of Origin (from a very specific area), salt and rennet. The fewer the ingredients there are in a product, the tastier it is. And this mozzarella really needs nothing else, apart from the time-honoured tradition that goes into making it.
Since the times of Magna Graecia, the ideal habitat of this primitive buffalo breed has been the marshlands of southern Italy. The buffaloes were domesticated for their incredibly delicious protein, fat and calcium-rich milk.
In the Middle Ages, in the Abbey of San Lorenzo near Aversa, the cheese known as "mozza" was made: the half-kilo cheese was called "aversana". To this day the curd rests for a few hours in the whey, then, after being separated into large pieces and placed in containers, it is stretched by hand and finally "mozzata" - "cut off" - leaving the classic curl that makes it unique.
The round shape and pearl white colour recall a full moon or ample udder. The cheese releases small amounts of probiotic-infused whey. The flavour is mild, fresh and enveloping, with a slightly acidic undertone.
