Una Festa della Mozzarella at Villa Toscana

Italy is renowned for producing some of the finest cheeses in the world, and few of its exceptional varieties are more famous or adored than mozzarella. Creamy, versatile and wonderfully flavoured, this fabulous cheese is perfect for cooking, baking or devouring cold with a selection of cold cuts or sweet, juicy tomatoes.

Lead by the tastes of each particular guest, the amazing Chef Rosario starts the experience by asking each diner to share what type of mozzarella cheeses they like. Then, after explaining the distinct attributes of each different variety, he sets about creating a sumptuous spread to suit each person’s preferences. The selection on offer includes quality pieces of cow mozzarella, buffalo mozzarella, burrata, Stracciatella and finally smoked mozzarella, for those who prefer cheeses with a richer and more distinct taste.

The platter of cheeses will also be accompanied by a beautiful arrangement of different types of much-loved Italian cheeses, tasty pickles and cold cuts. Cheese lovers are invited to sample as many different types as they like, with the knowledgeable staff always on hand to refill the spread whenever they start running low.
