MAURO DELLE DONNE

Zandam smoked mozzarella has an excellent balance between texture, flavour and body. The smoked flavour appeals to the South African market. It melts well and is versatile — it and can be eaten hot or cold. We source high quality milk which is pasteurised and inoculated with specially selected cultures. The milk is left to ferment for about an hour, then rennet is added to coagulate the curd and separate the whey. The curd is then stretched in warm water to form smooth, homogenous “pasta”, which is moulded into the desired shape and smoked three days later.
