Mozzarella the King of melted cheeses.

[techs]

Mmmm. Mozzarella....
Not the bland Kraft kind.
Sorrento is the best commerical brand, though I am not sure it is available everywhere. Polly-O is also ok.
Forget "shredded". Only chunk Mozzarella that you slice yourself.
And if you need to save 10 calories an ounce by buying the "part skim" kind you might as well not eat it.

Hard to find decent fresh where I live, though Sorrento now has a line of them. Not always available though.

fresh sliced mozzarella on a tuna melt > all

I have to disagree... Edam melts 10x better than mozzarella. Just my personal opinion.

 

[nageov3t]

I actually liked the processed stuff more than the fresh stuff.

asiago or provolone > mozzarella

i usually get the poly-o stuff. a fresh market in another town has fresh mozz, but its not worth the trouble and expense to get it, ill snag some sometime if im there i guess

doesnt taste like anything to me. even the "real" stuff

Why even bother melting it? A slice of mozzarella, a slice of tomato and a basil leaf on a slice of baguette with a little olive oil is just about the most perfect appetizer ever.

That's the idea - it's plain fresh cheese meant to absorb flavours. On a pizza it soaks up the herbs and the oil from the meat, or if you're just having it on bread, cover it with olive oil and black pepper.

Mozzarella is OK but Havarti is better.

there's a local dairy here that makes awesome mozzarella, both plain and smoked.

edit: article about their smoked mozz

The smoked sounds intriguing. :light:
