Carrozza means carriage in Italian. The “carriage” is the bread that “delivers” the mozzarella to the table. Use a soft cow’s milk mozzarella for its stringy texture. Try this Mozzarella carrozza.
TO DRINK: Try Ingwe Amehlo White 2007, a Bordeaux-style white blend with aromas of ripe pear and capsicum, and a delicate lemon grass palate
