Comments: You'll usually find delicate-tasting fresh mozzarella packed in whey or water. And if you're lucky enough to find buffalo mozzarella, made from a combination of water buffalo milk and cow's milk, give it a try. It's the most sought-after type of fresh mozzarella, with a much softer texture than regular mozzarella.
