la mozzarella di bufala e stata molto fresco!!

Tonight Sarah and I stopped by Botticella to visit her friend Giovanni, who owns the bar. We stayed for a small beer (una birra piccola) and ended up partaking in quite the treat. A friend of Giovanni's came up from a town near Naples and brought with him some fresh mozzarella (it's called buffalo mozzarella) that had been made this morning. It shouldn't even be sold until tomorrow at the earliest! It was literally the freshest cheese I will probably ever eat in my life. And it was INCREDIBLE. Soooo delicious! It was so fresh it was oozing milk. Okay that sounds gross, but I swear it wasn't. It was also ginormous; mozzarella usually comes in a ball of varying sizes - these mozzarella balls were the size of softballs. Again, amazing!



(translation of the title: "the buffalo mozzarella was very fresh" ....I'm working on learning a little Italian as I go along!)
