Should buffalo mozzarella be kept in the fridge? – Italian Cuisine

Should buffalo mozzarella be kept in the fridge?


When I left the Campania to move to Milan, my first big shock was to discover something that I would never have imagined in my most hidden dreams: once purchased, here the mozzarella cheese he goes home and rests directly in fridge.

No bell would ever do such a thing: the mozzarella from the fridge is at most that for cooking.
When I go down for the holidays and then back to Milan, my second suitcase is the polystyrene container well sealed that preserves the precious mozzarella. This material allows you to keep one constant temperature inside it and keep the tasty souvenir out of the fridge, perfectly coping with the train journey that can last up to 5-6 hours.

Despite my initial disappointment, it should be noted that in Milan it is a bit more difficult to find artisanal buffalo mozzarella fresh from the day and the most common ones are already stored in the supermarket fridge counter.

So what is the right way to treat this delicacy? Here are some basic rules for preserving and consuming artisanal buffalo mozzarella, following the guidelines of the Consortium for the Protection of Mozzarella di Bufala Campana PDO.

Buffalo mozzarella: eat it immediately

Soft, elastic to the right point e milky: artisanal buffalo is a fresh product, without preservatives. For this reason it should be consumed as soon as possible, so as to savor its irresistible characteristics.

In or out of the fridge?

According to recent studies carried out by the Maurizi Group, specialized in food safety, the buffalo mozzarella preserved at room temperature (18-25 °) for two days from its production does not risk no type of contamination, indeed it even improves its organoleptic characteristics compared to one stored in the fridge. The ideal is to eat it within 24 hours, without putting it in the fridge.

The buffalo mozzarella must always remain immersed in his governing liquid, until the time of consumption. The serum keeps the mozzarella hydrated and guarantees its typical taste and correct consistency.

Once the bag has been opened, it is a good idea to keep the storage liquid in a container: in the strange case where you cannot finish all the mozzarella, you will have to dip it again in the serum. You consume it within 3 days following, keeping it in the fridge.

How to serve it

To taste the real buffalo mozzarella, at the time of consumption its temperature it must not exceed about 18-20 ° C. Storing it in the refrigerator would compromise its qualities and the mystical experience of tasting. If, unfortunately, you happen to buy it from the refrigerator or store it in the fridge, take it out half an hour earlier.

The makeup to make them reach the correct temperature faster? Dip the bag still closed in a container with warm water for about 10 minutes.
No special seasonings or additions: enjoy it alone.
