The quality of your milk makes a big difference when making mozzarella cheese. For the best results, choose whole milk that is not ultra-pasteurized, as high heat processing damages the proteins needed for curd formation. We’ve created a Good Milk List featuring recommended brands, and our in-depth milk selection guides explains exactly what to look for when buying milk for mozzarella cheese making.

Stretching is what gives mozzarella cheese its classic texture—smooth, elastic, and melt-ready. After forming curds with rennet and citric acid, you'll heat them in hot water or whey, then stretch and fold until they reach the perfect consistency. You can follow our 30-Minute Mozzarella Recipe for clear, step-by-step instructions on how to make and stretch mozzarella cheese at home.

Making mozzarella cheese at home can be surprisingly fast. With our quick recipe, you can have fresh mozzarella ready in about 30 minutes. If you want a more traditional version with richer flavor and longer stretch, it may take more time and require aging. We offer a full range of mozzarella cheese recipes and supplies to match any timeline or skill level.

Quick mozzarella cheese is made using citric acid and rennet, allowing you to stretch fresh mozzarella curds in just about 30 minutes—perfect for beginners or fresh mozzarella pizza night. Traditional mozzarella involves a slower process, often using thermophilic culture and more precise temperature control. While quick mozzarella is faster, traditional mozzarella offers a more complex flavor for those ready to dive deeper into the craft of cheese making.
