Nodini mozzarella

Nodini is a traditional mozzarella-style cheese. The cheese consists of small hand-shaped knots of fresh mozzarella fior di latte with a smooth and shiny surface. It's usually made with pasteurized cow's milk, and sometimes with water buffalo's milk.

The texture is pleasant, soft, stringy, elastic, and chewy, while the flavors are milky and fresh. Nodini is often enjoyed on its own or combined with other ingredients such as cold cuts and fresh vegetables. The knotty shape exposes a bigger surface of the cheese, which makes it ideal for various dressings and olive oil to envelop the nodini completely.
