Chocolate Mozzarella

[Matthew]

My cheese maker is experimenting with chocolate mozzarella & gave me a tub to test out.  I was messing around a bit at home with it; Very Very Good!  I also picked up some smoked buffalo Scarmoza; fantastic!

Matt,
Chocolate and mozz is a fantastic idea. I am thinking a Stromboli with raspberries and this cheese would be a great pairing.  The photo is a little dark, how did you use the cheese exactly.

Sorry for the lousy iphone photo. It was a very simple ripieno with nothing more than the chocolate mozzarella. The chocolate mozzarella has the consistency of pudding versus the traditional.  It is not sweet at all.

No problem.

It is not sweet at all.

It's savory? That is really surprising and a pretty cool idea! Do you know how he is adding in the coco into the mozz?

No it's not savory either. It's almost like Mascarpone.  He is using a very good semi sweet melted Chocolate.

Can you elaborate on this a little more. Is it like burrata but instead of cream in the center it's chocolate? Or is it chocolate whipped with mozzarella?

Is the mozz being made from milk or curds?

It looks like chocolate pudding, it is not balled.
