Mozzarella Treccia La contadina

This week they promoted at the Manor their mozzarella cheeses. They also had a new sort I had never seen before in my life: the Mozzarella Treccia La Contadina. It looks quite like a tressed bread, or with a little imagination like a stranded seal. It ways around 500 grammes (which is about 4 times the size of a normal mozzarella). The cheese is 100% bufala, is hard on the outside, soft on the inside and has for a mozzarella a quite strong taste. And the best thing was that this week it was half priced, so instead of 16 CHF I paid around 8 CHF. The producers of this product also have a nice website, with even a song about this cheese.

Because I had so much mozzarella, I decided to make a big plate pizza with a part of the mozzarella. Really this is one my favorite things: to make a good tomato basil sauce yourself, divide this over a pizza bottom,  add a lot of high quality mozzarella and out of the oven finish it of with a few leaves of fresh basil. You can see the result here. (Oh and it is also a good way to lose your hangover.)
