“It took me a long time to perfect my from-scratch pizza dough, but the choice of @metmarket fresh mozzarella was a hit from the start! Can’t imagine my pizza without it.”

Just imagine: passionate, experienced cheesemongers expertly pulling, shaping, and braiding fresh mozzarella by hand, all while the city is just beginning to wake up. This isn’t a scene from a rustic, traditional cheese shop tucked away in a quaint alley in Italy. This is happening right in each of our stores. Come by early enough and you can grab a fresh sample.

It all starts with fresh curd from top-quality whole cow’s milk, which is then added to hot, salted water and stirred. Once the texture is right, it’s pulled and shaped.

Adored for its signature soft texture and mild flavor, our fresh mozzarella is perfect for topping pizza, baking with pasta, and incorporating into salads such as Grilled Peach, Arugula, and Fresh Mozzarella Salad.
