Anything done over 165 degrees is out, and at this time I'm not interested in raw milk. I've had several failed batches of homemade mozzarella-- it tastes good, but not quite the right texture. I've tried Pacific Village (New Season's brand produced by Alpenrose) and Straus and both have yielded a ricotta-like curd.

I think they carry it at Whole Foods (Pearl district at least). http://www.norisdairy.com There is a very detailed discussion of making mozzarella here which might be useful for you: http://www.portlandfood.org/index.php?showtopic=7837.
