Mozzarella
Fresh artisan stretched-curd cheese
Mozzarella – Fior di Latte
Our Mozzarella Fior di Latte is the signature product of Raimo Vincenzo Dairy & Brothers: made every day with fresh cow's milk and a recipe passed down through generations, it is the purest expression of Campanian dairy tradition.
This is a pasta filata (stretched-curd) cheese with an oval shape, snow-white in colour and with its unmistakable intense fresh-milk flavour. Its production follows the traditional Campanian method, using latteinnesto — the so-called criscito — a natural lactic bacteria culture that gives the product its authentic character, unique and impossible to replicate with industrial processes.
Each piece is produced on the morning of the same day and put on sale immediately: freshness and genuineness are our first quality guarantee.
Our Fior di Latte is made with just four ingredients: fresh cow's milk (from local livestock farms certified by the Campania ASL), natural lactic bacteria (latteinnesto/criscito), rennet and salt.
At the heart of the process is latteinnesto fermentation: natural lactic bacteria act on the milk and create the ideal conditions for the subsequent hand-stretching. This technique naturally reduces the lactose content — after 2-3 days from production it drops below 0.2% — making it more tolerable for those with lactose sensitivity.
The product is packaged in heat-sealed plastic bags or tied with a knot and clip, in portions of variable weight.
