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!
