Fresh Mozzarella Facts - - Compared to the more firm texture of
most commercially produced mozzarella, fresh mozzarella is soft
and moist. The flavor is mild, delicate and somewhat milky. Fresh
mozzarella is usually shaped into balls and stored in brine. After
buying fresh mozzarella, it should be refrigerated in the brine
and eaten within a few days.
