Legend says that mozzarella was first made when cheese curds accidentally fell into a pail of hot water in a cheese factory near Naples, and soon thereafter the first pizza was made. Actually, new cheeses are often formulated when mistakes happen, so there may well be truth in the tale!

Mozzarella is a stretched-curd cheese – the curd is mixed with heated whey and stretched and kneaded until it attains a smooth, pliable consistency. It is then molded into spheres or ovals and stored in water to keep it moist.
Delicate and perishable, it typically lasts only a few days – this is why having the perfect mozzarella packaging to preserve the shelf-life of the product is essential.
