Warm Up This Christmas with Handmade Mozzarella from Tutto Italiano
This holiday season, Tutto Italiano (74 Montauk Hwy., East Hampton, 631-324-9500) offers their handmade mozzarella to keep you warm and your stomach full. Whether you're planning a big Italian Christmas feast or bringing a special hors d'oeuvre, this warm treat is sure to impress dinner guests.
Chef Pasquale Langella, a native of Naples, Italy, was taught how to make fresh mozzarella by his grandmother. The 30-minute process features just a few ingredients including whole milk, piping hot water (a staggering 150 degrees), and a handful of salt.
