Lioni Ovoline Fresh Mozzarella in Water, 4oz Balls

Lioni's Ovoline is the retail cup version of their egg sized fresh mozzarella: two four ounce balls of whole cow's milk mozzarella packed in water, made by the Salzarulo family, whose cheesemaking roots run back to Campania and to a Brooklyn shop opened in 1980.

Why you'll love it

• Whole cow's milk — pasteurized, with starter, vegetable rennet and salt and nothing else
• Packed in water — no preservatives or additives in the cup
• Egg sized ovoline — the shape slices cleanly and lies flat on a plate
• Two balls per cup — an easy eight ounces for one or two people
• Vegetable rennet — so it suits a vegetarian table

How to enjoy Slice it and layer it with ripe tomatoes and fresh basil for a Caprese, or tear it over a plate of marinated peppers. It also belongs in a grilled cheese where the cheese is the point.

The everyday mozzarella, sized right, and the one to keep on hand all summer.
