You've purchased Fiore's Mozzarella, now what?

Many people ask us, "how do I keep the Mozzarella? Should I refridgerate it? Freeze it? Leave it out? There is no one answer, rather it depends on when you are going to serve it. Mozzarella can be left at room temperature for 24 hrs. from the time it is purchased, after that, it must be either refridgerated or frozen. Of course, our Mozzarella is best enjoyed fresh, but that isn't always practical, and if you must refridgerate or freeze Mozzarella, there are steps to follow that will ensure our product will be enjoyed to it's maximum potential.

If you are using your Mozzarella from 2 days to a week of purchase, then refridgerate it. Before serving, remove from fridge and allow the Mozzarella to come back to room tempterature. Next, cut only the amount of Mozzarella you wish to serve, re-wrap the rest and put it back in the fridge. Fill a large bowl with VERY HOT tap water. Add a small handful of course salt, stir, and place the Mozzarella in the bowl for 5 minutes. remove and serve.

If you are using your Mozzarella from a week to 4 weeks of purchase, then freeze it. Remove from the freezer and let thaw completely. Use the same procedure mentioned above .

enjoy!
