Has anyone used, or seen, the large flat mozzarella sheets? Wondering where to buy them... TU!

are you talking about the ones you buy to make your own mozzarella balls? I bought mine on line

but it was long time ago, before I learned how to make it from scratch. I think there are a few companies that sell the sheets.

 

[randi]

here's a link for some sources for buying the curd.

Randi, have you posted here about making your own moz?

I have a friend who e-mailed me earlier today about making it. I've never done it.

 

[cheezz]

Nope - no Wegman's

It's all on the east coast... maybe I'll check Trader Joes, Whole Foods or Bristol Farms.

I just saw these today, after you mentioned it, at Safeway! It was at one of the nicer Safeways..

It was in the deli section, not the eggs and cheese section. Not sure if all of the stores carry it - I just happened to see it today.

Cool stuff!

it's from New England Cheese Making and here's a link to the recipe and

buying the rennet you'll need. you couldn't get anything close to fresh mozz here back then and it was fun. it came out best with raw goat's milk or the raw cow's milk I was able to get from a friend. one gallon of the cow's milk would have 3 - 4" of cream on the top... awesome!

they have the rolls at our Safeway too but they are already stuffed. I think Cheezz is looking

for one she can unroll and put her own fillings in. I don't know if you tried the Safeway roll but the one I bought was just aweful smileys/frown.gif

 

[lisainla]

Thank you so much, Randi. I will forward her this info.

Cheezz, what about that Italian Market in Culver City?

Now, I can't for the life of me remember the name - it's on Sepulveda, above the 90 Freeway and before the split of Sepulveda and Jefferson.

Sorrento Market?

 

[randi]

you're welcome, hope she has fun with it smileys/smile.gif

 

[cheezz]

Sorrento's -- I try to go there only if desperate. They don't put prices on anything and

when you ask the price of something, they make it up at the time -- I've paid 3 different prices for the same item. And they aren't very nice - gruff and unfriendly... think it's time for them to retire?

 

[cheezz]

Yes, want just the cheese to add my own fillings. Thanks for the review on the roll though smileys/frown.gif

 

[randi]

how about checking your local super markets to see who carries BelGioioso cheese and you

could ask them to order it for you?

 

[lisainla]

Ack! I hate that! I haven't been in there in many years, but I used to drive

passed it daily on my way to and from work.

I don't blame you for not patronizing the store.

Now - I'm thinking you might hit the jackpot at the new Whole Foods in El Segundo. Maybe we could meet up there some time?

 

[cheezz]

Sure! I'd love a meetup!! I don't like to eat there, but there are quite a few lunching options
