A few weeks ago I posted about making homemade pizzas and our favorite sauce. A friend pointed out that I did not mention the importance of the cheese. For good reason: the pizza pictured for that post was made with regular old mozzarella. Whenever we have the chance we go to Casa Della Mozzarella (604 East 187th Street) in the Bronx and get their homemade cheese. It is so hard to describe how incredibly delicious this cheese is. It's creamy soft, slightly salty and sweet at the same time. It melts on your tongue. Well worth the trip to Arthur Avenue.
The biggest problem we have when using it is that we start nibbling it before it goes on the pie and suddenly half of it is gone and we don't have enough for the pizza.
Fred made a pie with the Casa cheese the other night, and we snapped some pics. Enjoy!
i went there for fresh mozz once. have you two ever gone to borgatti's ravioli and egg noodles in the bronx? check it out, they sell really fresh, homemade, delicious pasta and italian extras. well worth the wait out the door!

Thanks for the tip Lauren. I'll have to take a trip up there. We went to Casa at Thanksgiving time and the line was out the door. But there's something festive about waiting in line with people who enjoy eating and serving good food. I imagine that they tell their families on Thanksgiving that they had to wait in line to get the cheese! It's that good!
ReplyDeleteWhat I really like is to prepare homemade pizza with my husband and kids!
