Ovolini mozzarella

Ovolini is a traditional type of mozzarella cheese. It consists of small and smooth white balls of mozzarella that's made with pasteurized cow's milk or sometimes water buffalo's milk. The texture is soft, elastic, and spongy, while the flavors are mild, fresh, milky, and delicate.

These mozzarella balls are about the size of an egg and are often enjoyed in salads (such as caprese for one or two people) and appetizers, although they can be enjoyed on their own as well. The name ovolini is derived from the Italian word for an egg, referring to the size of the cheese.
