Stretching Mozzarella Cheese

Recently we sourced some local, grass-fed Jersey cow raw cheese curd.  The color was a butterscotch yellow....these cows are on green Florida pasture year around. Now this curd was NOT cheap. However, the flavor is buttery, clean and wonderful tasting.

Raw salted curds

We then hot water added

Stretching begins..its a balance between jeeping curds hot enough to stretch and burning your hands in the near boiling water..

Finished cheese.. 2/5 pounds or fresh mozzarella........And then we made.....

This amazing pizza...cheese was perfectly salted, very stretchy and totally delicious.

Success!
