mozzarella (Italian: mozzarella di Neapolitan: muzzarella 'e vufera) is a mozzarella made from the milk of Italian Mediterranean. It is a dairy product traditionally manufactured in Campania, especially in the provinces of Caserta and Salerno.

Despite its somewhat bland taste, mozzarella is favoured as a melting cheese that forms an elastic texture desired by many chefs and cheese consumers. The flavor is delicate and slightly sour, with a milk-like freshness. The longer the cheese ages, the softer and more sour it becomes.
