It's been years since I've attempted to make mozzarella. I watched all the videos I could on here but could never get it right. After watching this, I finally made some amazing mozzarella. I wish I could post pics here. The quote "it's not a science, it's an art" is what really set this video apart from the others and finally made everything make sense to me.
@@boblab years ago I was using store bought milk mostly. I tried maybe 1 or 2 times with raw. Now, I use raw that has been milked from the cow only a day or two before using it.
You guys make me proud to have Italian ancestors. I have family from Abruzzo and Naples . Italians do everything with pride especially food. Glad to have you in America.
Vito I have to tell you that my 5 year old daughter just loves your videos and energy. If she hears your voice (even when in another room) I hear her say, "soft & crunchy." Just like you say it. She does it whenever I serve her pizza from your recipe's, too. 😄 Thank you for being so full of life and fun!
I am sure many must have finished the video with the thought "Stefano is a really cool guy!" ... This video was possibly the best youtube recommendation I have clicked on in a very long time. I love mozzarella and now I just HAVE to give this a try. Thank you Vito! Thank you Stefano!
Wow, Apollo , you must be crazy. This video is great but saying it is the best one since UA-cam inception is laughable. Poor Vito believed you 🤦♂️🤦♂️
14:14 _Stefano: "So like they say in Bari, right? You treat the curd the same way you treat your wife when you first met her---_ _The Maestro, with no hesitation whatsoever: 🍑👋_
Love this video. I tried making moz about a year ago, but it was an epic failure. After watching this video I think I have a good chance of succeeding on my next try. Thank you.
Excellent tutorial!!! Thank you!! I just returned from Southern Italy, Bari, Trani, Lecce, Matera, Sorrento, Napoli....I can't wait to make homemade mozzarella! Thank you for sharing your instructions & passion for authentic Italian cuisine!!!
This is amazing, great info. I tried to make mozarella last week but it was tough and rubbery, and now I know why. Next one is gonna be amazing. Thanks so much for your fantastic video.
Soooo much better than the last recipe I tried. He abused the mozzarella and when I made it, it was abused. So I had no choice but to turn it into cream cheese. No worries! I added some roasted garlic & onion and some dried chives. Tasted amazing even if it wasn’t what I was going for. ☺️
Thank you for this video, I think you two make a nice combination. I would love to see more! I enjoy making my own ricotta, and I have been trying my hand at fresh mozzarella!
Hi Vito, could you write the ingredient amounts/units in video description? Thank you so much. I have been making your pizza dough recipe for 2 years people loving my pizzas I tell them its not my dough recipe its a traditional Italian recipe of guy called Vito☺️ much love from Turkey my friend
13:51 remember to leave curd alone between first and second step, so it can magically strains itself into block of fresh cheese while quadrupling its amount while no one is looking.
Thanks Vito, you read my minds. Was wondering if you show us background stories of pizza ingredients in the near future. Voila, starting with splendid bianco. Your such a crazy pizza lover, Vito! I mean in a positive way. Will always repeat myself: Vito, you make the world a better (pizza) place. THANK YOU MAESTRO from the bottom of my (pizza loving) heart, incredibile! Greetings from Austria / Innsbruck.
Great Video. But it looked to me like the curd was swapped out between the slime ball on the counter an the neat dry curd when you returned with it up on a pedestal. Loved the video, seems like a step was left out of the video.
I am also wondering what to do after the curds left on the counter. Suddenly he has a tight box of curds and it looks like maybe he let them drain in a square strainer??
One of the most interesting videos you have made. Haven't been able to find a detailed and simple video on making Mozzarella on UA-cam like this one 😎👍 Mission accomplished
What was the process after forming the curds and emptying them on to the table to then get the consistency of the curd you brought in to then break up in the bowl?
I will definitely be trying this method! I have made cheese for YEARS and mozzarella it the one I can NOT get to turn out, using other recipes. I can’t wait to try this way!
absolutely love this video. Showing the quality and trade of great mozzarella cheese. Showed me what I did wrong in the past at this attempt. Very informative, di Stefano was great in showing and teaching and always with a smile of joy in this art. Another great video from Vito. Always looking forward to the next.
Hello Vito. Im Roy from Norway. Thank you for all your movies. I watched almost every one of them. And you have made homemade pizza an art. But now I have a question. I have tried making mozzarella and ricotta, but it was not that easy. What kind og vinegar or "vinegrette" did he use, and hove strong was it, and how much water did he blend inn? Also, When did hu put in the salt? I hope to get an answer to this , so I could try again. Thank you :)
Thanks for another great video. I wonder if this can be made using vegan "milk". So hard to find a good vegan cheese replacement for pizza.....I've made so many recipes and bought vegan cheese in the stores but nothing comes close. I've learned so much from your videos and now make a poolish for pizza dough. It makes such a huge difference even in a standard oven.
That’s because you need ingredients which come from the cow… You surely can make something similar to mozzarella, but it will not be the same and surely not traditional… Good luck with the vegan thing you will try to make :)
Hey vitto, an amazing video, a few questions: 1. After you made the curd, it looked like you let it sit and dry up, is that the case? 2. Should you keep adding hot water to make sure the water is still hot? 3. Once you get the milk to 95f, do you let it sit in the same water or do you take it out of the hot water? Thank you so much for posting this
No when you make the curd take it out and it needs to cool off then you will had the curd in hot water and start to pull it and make the mozzarella then mozzarella goes in cold water done make sure when u cut the curd add some salt
Fantastic video guys, this is so interesting. Really appreciate your approach and that of your guests, in keeping things simple and straight forward. This is a great tutorial, that anyone can easily follow. This cheese looks absolutely spectacular. I will be trying this for sure.
This is the best video I have seen on how to make mozzarella . I am definitely trying it this weekend . Just one question- how hot is the water that you pour into the bowl before adding the rennet . I know you mentioned the milk needs to come up to 98 . So what’s the temperature of the water that’s added to bring it there?
Vito. I was in your home town of Bari last week with my wife. We also stayed in Monopoli, Alberobello and in Matera in a cave. While we were in Matera we signed up for a class in making bread and cheese. We made our own mozzarella and other cheeses. It was terrific. I really enjoyed this video and getting to know your region of Puglia!!
Ah Vito, since watching your videos, pizza has been such a passion for me! From many failed attempts to buying a decent pizza oven and then just improving! But I feel like there is so much to learn. I still struggle with streching the dough; I get too worried not to stress the dough; I cannot stretch it evenly. Sometimes the dough feels not elastic enough although I follow each step to get the right proportions and the raising period. Any tips on that? Much love from Finland!
If you are doing a 24 cold proof and not too much yeast (1g per 1000g flour) you should find it more pliable and less likely to fail but still get great results. I find many dough recipes recommended way too much yeast and the dough blows up and makes it risky to stretch. Less yeast is my recommendation. Cheers!
I truly enjoyed this video. My mouth was watering the entire time. Well almost the entire time. I fast forwarded thru the milking of the cow part, lol.
1. What's the quantity of Rennet used for 1 litre of milk? 2. What should be the temperature of water for the second step in making the fresh mozzarella cheese?
That's FUNNY as heck! Laughing with my Nana after reading this. Years ago she and a girlfriend were Donna get rich making mozzarella. They both hate cheese. Lol It didn't work!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Ikr this was supposed to be a beginners tutorial but they were very meticulous about it. I understand this is how they get really good mozzarella... but maybe someone just wants to make quick mozzarella at home for their homemade pizza in which case maybe give us a simpler tutorial
Awesome video!!! You are so knowledgeable. I want to visit you one day. I have a question about the curd, can you keep that in the fridge or somewhere to use it for later? Instead of putting the mozzarella in the fridge, put the curd in the fridge and have a shorter process to make the mozz
Thats great vito , Thanks for ur amazing video 😍😍😍the master of pizza on youtube ، so he using raw milk or pasteurised milk ? And waiting your ricotta video 😜
Did you believe now after watching this video u can make fresh mozzarella in 1 hour?
No for sure. I will definetely try it. However, it is really rare to find fresh milk here is Spain. Because the law oblige them to pasteurize it.
@@Fortheloveofpiza yes u can use it but it’s important to find it NON-Homogenized
yes,yes!
Absolutely! You make everything understandable and easy. Thank you Vito for all you do !!!
I love you 💗

Did you use store bought milk?
Mind to explain why you failed?
@@boblab years ago I was using store bought milk mostly. I tried maybe 1 or 2 times with raw. Now, I use raw that has been milked from the cow only a day or two before using it.
@@anonymousstout4759 The texture was never right. It was always too firm.
What did he put with rennet and how much? Please

@@vitoiacopelli Vito, can we replace cow milk with buffalo milk, and if yes it will be same steps in your recipe or there will be different steps?
@@midosafe209 this will become the GOD of Mozarella - MOZARELLA DI BUFFALA
@@midosafe209 Buffalo milk is the best choice for making mozzarella cheese due to its high fat content.
@@Iranian.. thanks dear, should be same steps like cow mozzarella or less or more?
thanks for the video, Vito. Just I did not understand what kind of vinegar and how much we need to use? My husband is from Sicily.
Stefano is awesome and takes such care with the product. I'd totally buy cheese from this guy. Thanks for bringing us this video, Vito - you rock! :D
So calm and so knowledgeable!
Loved his teaching style and technique of making this…
People better keep liking this video because I REALLY want to see part two and how to make ricotta!!! 👍😁
I did my part. Now, how do we make that damn ricotta?
Where is the ricotta you liar
Me too. 😇
Ricotta is a lot easier. I keep ruining the mozzarella batch and ending up with ricotta
@@Petersonmgee lol!
I love the fact of using vegetable rennet , cause we have goats and sheep and we also use vegg rennet for our cheeses, warm regards from Mexico
👍👍
@@xmechanicin2326 does it taste better with vegan rennet vs animal?i dont think so
That guy didn’t let Stefano breathe one bit 😂

Fantastic Video. One question, how much % acid is in the winegear. Here in Germany we have 5 or 20%.
Grazie Stefano👑! You made simple for us and you really feel the history and legacy of your family thru the cheese and cheesemaking!✨👍
This is amazing, great info. I tried to make mozarella last week but it was tough and rubbery, and now I know why. Next one is gonna be amazing. Thanks so much for your fantastic video.
Why was it tough may I ask? I'm starting to make muzzarela too
@jesidillon4593 making cheese is a journey and it's hard sometimes to pinpoint what went wrong; no way of knowing if it's your first time.
Bravo Vito. What an educational video. Should be shown in all schools.!!!!
Soooo much better than the last recipe I tried. He abused the mozzarella and when I made it, it was abused. So I had no choice but to turn it into cream cheese. No worries! I added some roasted garlic & onion and some dried chives. Tasted amazing even if it wasn’t what I was going for. ☺️
Thank you. This was entertaining and educational.
Grazie Chef Vito !!!! BELLISSIMO!!!!
I am eager to try this method😊 just learning this craft , other methods use the stove top to heat milk before adding vinegar.
Great masterclass!!! Question: when do you use Buffalo mozzarella and when do you use cow mozzarella. Personally I like buffalo mozzarella more.
I ❤️ buffalo mozzarella!
Thank you for this video, I think you two make a nice combination. I would love to see more! I enjoy making my own ricotta, and I have been trying my hand at fresh mozzarella!

Ya another hour it takes atleast 2 never seen 1 hour monzerrela
The comment i was looking for. So after draining the curd we let it sit for 2 hrs?
I am also wondering what to do after the curds left on the counter. Suddenly he has a tight box of curds and it looks like maybe he let them drain in a square strainer??
Thanks for teaching.

Can you recall what temperature the milk is at when the vinegar is added? Is it room temperature or cold?
Milk need to be from fridge cold

One minute it’s a sloppy round jelly fish on the counter, next minute it’s a quite dry block, what happened in between the break??
And when is the salt ever used? Is it added somewhere in the process or what?
@shinji0843 you add the salt to the curd when its cut in the bowl. You mix it with the salt then add the hot water
Yes, some inconsistencies here, unfortunately.
I tried this and another 100 recipes. Importent Point: Milk Ph should be reduced with vinegar slowly to5.3 Ph. Then it works. But Nobody say it.
They made extra curd
I truly enjoyed this video. My mouth was watering the entire time. Well almost the entire time. I fast forwarded thru the milking of the cow part, lol.
Poor cows, they never seen a single strand of grass of their life.
Great video. Vito, one question, when do you add the Salt?
1. What's the quantity of Rennet used for 1 litre of milk?
2. What should be the temperature of water for the second step in making the fresh mozzarella cheese?
well chief, you only got a like
My questions exactly
I think he said 2 drop only
2 drops in 20 gr.(ml )of water
Thanks for the video it was awesome
Looking forward to watching how to make ricotta
Special tools, special ingredients, certain type of milk, constant careful & precise handling and micromanaging... screw it, not gonna make it ever.
