Mozzarella (di Bufala) is a pure white, soft, smooth and moist cheese made I Campania from buffalo milk. It is shaped into small pears or ovals and weighs from 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds. Mozzarella has a mild, creamy, delicate and slightly sweet flavor and is one of the most popular cheeses used in Italian cooking.

The cheese is sometimes smoked and then it is called Mozzarella di Bufala Affumicata or Provola di Bufala Affumicata. In some case its smoke flavor is created artificially instead of natural smoking over fire, but nonetheless, it is still delicious and works well in pasta salads.
