Fior di latte is a traditional Italian mozzarella made solely from cow’s milk, celebrated for its pure, clean flavor and soft, elastic texture. The name “fior di latte,” meaning “flower of the milk,” highlights the quality and freshness of the milk, which gives this mozzarella its gently sweet, milky taste and delicate aroma. When sliced, it reveals a moist, tender interior that is smooth rather than stringy, making it a cornerstone of classic Italian cooking.
Exceptionally versatile, fresh mozzarella fior di latte can be enjoyed in countless ways beyond the classic caprese. It melts evenly and luxuriously on pizza, flatbreads, and baked pasta dishes like lasagna or baked ziti, while still holding its structure. Tear it into salads with arugula, peaches, or grilled vegetables, tuck it into panini and focaccia sandwiches, or serve it alongside cured meats for a simple antipasto. It also shines when paired with warm dishes, such as spooned over roasted tomatoes, folded into omelets, or layered into eggplant or chicken parmigiana.
For a simple yet elegant presentation, serve it at room temperature with crusty bread, flaky sea salt, and a drizzle of high-quality extra virgin olive oil. Its gentle flavor also makes it an excellent canvas for finishing touches like pesto, chili oil, lemon zest, or cracked black pepper.
