Fresh Mozzarella made by dairy farmers of the Amalfi coast |
How dairy farmers of the Amalfi coast make handmade mozzarella?
Like pizza, mozzarella is one of the most popular Italian food products in the world.
Even if it has many calories, we are used to eat the mozzarella produced industrially and we insert it in many recipes of home-made dishes, such as buffalo chicken mozzarella sticks, "mozzarella in carrozza", mozzarella balls, mozzarella sticks cooked with air fryer, etc.
In my career I have taken many tourists to attend the artisanal production of mozzarella, in one of the most beautiful places in Italy: the Amalfi coast.
