Etymology

The term 'mozzarella' derives from the Italian verb 'mozzare,' which means 'to cut off.' This reflects the traditional process of making mozzarella, where curds are cut and then gathered, kneaded, and formed into balls. Originating from the southern regions of Italy, it was traditionally made from the milk of water buffaloes, particularly in Campania and Lazio, where the climate and conditions made it ideal for this type of dairy production. The cheese became famous for its unique texture and flavor, and the production has now evolved with cow's milk and is widely consumed around the globe. Over centuries, mozzarella has gained recognition not just in Italian cuisine but also as an essential ingredient in various international dishes.
