Smoked Mozzarella

Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or original packaging. Freezing may affect texture, making it slightly crumbly upon thawing.

Shredded or diced smoked mozzarella melts wonderfully in pizzas, pasta bakes, and grilled cheese sandwiches.

Add a unique flavor to risotto, gnocchi, or even scrambled eggs by stirring in chunks of smoked mozzarella.

Pair it with crusty bread, cured meats, and robust red wines for a delicious appetizer.

Arugula, tomatoes, pesto, prosciutto, salami, mushrooms, caramelized onions, sun-dried tomatoes.

Overheating smoked mozzarella can cause it to become oily and lose its texture. Melt it gently over medium-low heat.

Mistaking it for regular mozzarella: The smoky flavor is pronounced and may not suit delicate dishes where a neutral cheese flavor is desired.
