Trivia
Mozzarella cheese has known to date back to 6000 B.C. and has even been recorded to be in use in Mesopotamia, though the sources may differ. Some sources say that this cheese was an accidental production when lumps of cheese curds fell into a pot of hot water in a cheese factory near the city of Naples. This was before the creation of pizza.
Though there are around more than 2000 varieties of cheese around the world, mozzarella is considered to be the globe’s favorite.
