Mozzarella "Spotting"
« on: February 26, 2013, 07:34:53 PM »
Something I've noticed but can't seem to figure out yet; what causes mozzarella to "spot?" Aka, the browning flecks on the fresh mozz on neapolitan style pizzas.

I notice, from different places, some spot and some don't. Is it how the mozz is cut? The quality of the mozz?

I believe I have read here that part skim with color more than whole milk. Could be the other way tho. Perhaps putting oil on the cheese will also affect the "spotting"

Time is a factor. The quicker the bake, the less likely there will be spotting.

Buffalo mozz, generally speaking, won't brown.
