Description: [PET-to-lah] Pettola is a pizza-shaped buffalo mozzarella. As every buffalo mozzarella, it is produced exclusively from the milk of water buffalos, which live in the wet lowland swamps of Campania region, the countryside area around Naples, Italy. Most of the fresh mozzarella sold all over the world, even in Italy, is made from cows’ milk. That type of mozzarella has less moisture, is consequently more firm, and it is extremely mild. Mozzarella di Bufala, on the other hand, is immensely flavorful, rich in butterfat and very satisfying. For more information, see Mozzarella di bufala.
