An Italian-type cheese made in many countries, including
the U.S. It is widely used in cooking. Some brands of
Mozzarella are unripened, while others may be ripened
up to two months. The longer the ripening, the softer
the texture.

Wine
Pairing Suggestions:
Rancho Zabaco Sauvignon Blanc
This wine shows the great varietal character of
a cool-climate Sauvignon Blanc. Citrus flavors
and hints of grass balance aromas of rich guava,
mango, and fig. The mouth is full of fresh fruit
enhanced by integrated acidity and a rich oiliness
around the edges. |
