Buffalo Mozzarella

I enjoy plating the buffalo mozzarella. So everytime we have mozzarella order, I am not hesitate to do it, I am actually excited puting it in the plate. Buffalo mozzarella is made from the milk of Water buffalo (Carabao in asia). As we all know Italians are known for their knowledges in making cheeses, Buffalo mozzarella is one of them.
There are other kinds of mozzarela and is normally hard as compare to buffalo mozzarela which is very very soft. Normally Buffalo mozzarela is ate with some rocket salad, cold cuts and or grilled vegetables.
Boconccini is small round bite size of buffalo mozzarela.

I have a story. on my first day in one of my previous kitchen, I was assign in the cold section where in most of the food starter are made. Every body are busy and I am hesitate of plating of any order. The manager ask the chef if he can make a buffalo mozzarela as a complimentary to the guest. My chef ask me to make and I have no Idea how to do it. I ask the other commis and he show me the mozzarela he told me to just make a little rocket salad and put the mozzarella on top. I show it to the commis and and he said its fine just make it nice. So i put some cherry tomato and some color of mix cress and i gave it to the manager. In the end the manager said the guest like the overa all service and the food.
