Lioni Fresh Mozzarella is an authentic Italian-style fresh mozzarella handcrafted in Brooklyn, New York, by Lioni Latticini, a family-owned cheesemaker that has been producing traditional Italian cheeses since 1980. Founded by Italian immigrants, Lioni has built a reputation for bringing Old World cheesemaking traditions to the United States while maintaining exceptional quality and freshness.
Made from high-quality cow’s milk, this mozzarella is crafted using the traditional pasta filata method, where the curd is heated, stretched, and shaped to create its signature smooth texture and delicate flavor. The result is a fresh cheese that is soft, moist, and milky, with the clean taste that has made mozzarella a cornerstone of Italian cuisine.
Unlike low-moisture mozzarella used primarily for cooking, fresh mozzarella is prized for its delicate texture and is often enjoyed simply with olive oil, tomatoes, and fresh basil.
