Both were semi firm on the outside and oozing on the inside. Is this bad? My friend tossed hers, I'm not sure that it should be. Any advice?

You might get more responses if you put this on the General Topics board. Tue Apr 07 18:03:00 -0700 2009 4576750 104084 LNG212 1 4576814 Fresh Mozzarella is just that - Very Fresh. It's packed in whey so it is moist. As it ages it gets denser. It does have a slight tart taste when fresh but you'd know if it was off. Does it smell sour or rancid? Is there a sell by date on the package? Tue Apr 07 18:06:06 -0700 2009 4576750 75332 Gio 1 4576974 Sounds perfect: A little rubbery on the outside, creamy on the inside. That is the way it should be.

I ate it not knowing any different, but had no ill effects. I also have an iron stomach. :) Tue Apr 07 19:14:35 -0700 2009 4576750 53671 Davedigger 2 4577049 You got what you paid for, fresh mozzarella.

I kinda like the oozy-ness. :) Tue Apr 07 20:20:28 -0700 2009 4576750 53671 Davedigger 1 4577296 Very soft on the inside is the way buffalo mozzarella is supposed to be. It is delicious. You might have been expecting boccocino. That is more rubbery all the way through. Tue Apr 07 21:11:59 -0700 2009 4576750 162977 sarah galvin
