Hah, timely. Apparently there is a current (or at least I only encountered it recently) marketing trend in (at least) Germany and the USA of calling cow mozzarella "Fior di latte", to make it out as something special, when all it means is that it’s the slightly cheaper Mozzarella made from cow’s milk instead of buffalo’s, and is what the vast majority of Mozzarella is made out of in both countries.
- octo888 1y ago> fior di latte Same in the UK at fancy pizza places. It's £2-4 extra for buffalo mozzarella
- qsort 1y agoBuffalo mozzarella is actually a trap on pizza. It contains more water and it tends to dampen the dough as it melts. Fiordilatte or Treccia are actually better, even though they're cheaper.
- octo888 1y agoOh that's interesting. Soggy pizza is the worst. Not sure why they'd even offer it as an option but I think they've given up with the British public as they even let you order a pizza with a topping of fries !
