Mmmmm... summer. Ripe tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, olive
oil and basil. I can just smell it.

Michael

How long does it keep in the fridge? Is it wrong if I just
slice it and eat it plain? I buy little 4-oz balls (Shut
up, Sheldon!) of it at a local Italian deli-market.

I'm not sure how long it keeps in the fridge. We're big
cheese eaters and go through it within a week. I buy it
fresh also. Eating it plain is just fine with me 😉 I don't
buy it that often. I usually only buy it when I'm making
something I need it for or for the above mentioned salad. I
buy shredded when I'm making a pizza.

No wrong way to enjoy what you enjoy. I will say that plain
mozzarella is a bit more bland than I like. Salt, pepper and
a drop of balsamic for me.

Depends. You're keeping it in its liquid, right? It should
last the better part of a week, if chilled. Over time, the
surface will soften from the liquid and have a different,
"mushy" mouthfeel.

Roll in flour, egg wash, dredge in bread crumbs and deep fry
for a minute or so. Can even do it on sticks.

Yes and no Barb. You do slice it and then you MUST serve it
with tomato slices and fresh basil and freshly ground black
pepper. Olive oil and balsamic vinegar are optional.

I'm not sure how long it keeps in the fridge.

Not very long - I'd say 3 or 4 days, and make sure it's
immerged in its liquid, or at least water.

Barb, ignore Cyndi! You don't MUST serve it her way! It's
perfectly acceptable to just grab a little ball, sprinkle it
with salt, and have at
it. How long it keeps in the fridge is a moot point, In my
house it doesn't make it overnight.

No, wait a minute. Felice said "salt"... she forgot (as in
totally missed!) the pepper. You HAVE to have pepper.

You can always put it on an herbed cracker. Fresh cracked

Tomatoes, fresh mozzarella olive oil and basil is probably
my all-time favorite summer salad. I like to gild the lily a
bit and drizzle it with some balsamic vinegar and throw in
some kalamata olives as well.

I think you lose the 'freshness' of fresh mozzarella if you
keep it more than a couple of days. I'm talking about the
"real" fresh mozzarella, the kind made in the back of the
deli you're buying it from, not made at some distant
manufacturing plant and packaged in hermetically sealed
plastic wrap. (I laughed when I saw this aberration in my
local Safeway
- talk about unclear on the concept!)
