June 21st is the beginning of summer. The beginning of summer! The great outdoors, the warm sun, water, greenery, patios, balconies, picnics… friends! How I’m longing for all this. In terms of cheese, mozzarella is our best and most reliable summer friend, without any doubt. Who is a she, stemming from the regions of Lazio and Campania, from south of Rome down to the Gulf of Salerno south of Naples, made from the milk of water buffalos who like marshy regions. Which is why our friend mozzarella is always a mozzarella di bufala, although it is perfectly possible to apply the same production method to cows’ milk, albeit with a less sweet and less rich result, that is called, at least in Italy, fior di latte.
