why does pizza shop shredded mozzarella have better flavor and melt smoother than grocery store shredded mozzarella?
In: Other
You have to be careful about what you buy. A lot of grocery store mozzarella is low-fat or part-skim, avoid those, they melt like shit because of the low fat content. Also avoid fresh mozzarella, it’s delicious and melts beautifully, but has too much water so it will make your pizza soggy. As for the flavor, many pizza places also use a mixture of cheeses rather than straight mozzarella, most commonly mixing in some combination of parmesan, romano, provolone, fontina, or asiago.
