Fancy a bit of a crowd pleaser that takes hardly any time to prepare but tastes like a slice of sunshine? Just like the best extra virgin olive oil, good quality mozzarella is worth every penny.
Mozzarella Ball: Did you know?
Mozzarella, derived from the Southern Italian dialects spoken in Puglia, Campania, Abruzzo, Molise, Basilicata, Lazio, Marche, and Calabria, is the diminutive form of mozza (“cut”), or mozzare (“to cut off”) derived from the method of working. An earlier reference is also often cited as describing mozzarella. Monsignor Alicandri states that in the 12th century the Monastery of Saint Lorenzo, in Capua, Campania offered pilgrims a piece of bread with “mozza”. (Source: Wikipedia.org)
