Mozzarella

Full Circle Creamery produces several varieties of mozzarella.  Our Mozzarella Curds and Fresh, Hand-Stretched Mozzarella, Low-Moisture Whole Milk Mozzarella and Smoked Mozzarella are now in stores and on menus throughout the Willamette Valley!

Fresh Mozzarella

Full Circle Creamery is the only local cheesemaking company in Oregon to make Fresh Mozzarella the traditional way: cultured and hand stretched. This results in the dreamy texture and buttery flavor we associate with authentic Italian Mozzarella Balls. Our Fresh Mozzarella is great sliced for an appetizer plate or placed on top of pizza. Pair with apples for an afternoon snack.  The Blue Goat in Amity, Handsome Pizza in Portland, and Maiale de Volo in Beaverton use this cheese on their wood-fired oven pizzas and the Jory at the Allison Inn melts in on flat bread.  Incredible Edibles tops their pizzas for Salem Saturday Market attendees.  Independence Hops’n Barrelhouse sports this awesome cheese in their Caprese Salad.

Mozzarella Curds

Mozzarella Curds are a style of cheese unique to Full Circle Creamery.  They are made from the same batch as our Fresh Mozzarella.  During the cheese making process, we save some of the curds to flavor and package in convenient resealable bags.  Eat them on the go or savor them as a midnight snack. Pack them in lunches for a sure-to-eat treat.

For those who love to cook Italian style,try our Mozzarella Curds that are close to the “Best By” date in your favorite dish.  This cheese browns nicely on top of pizzas. It melts into pastas and warm dishes wonderfully.

We have been listening to our customers and cheese buyers and will be offering plain Mozzarella Curds in addition to the two flavors that were available before:

Impressionable:  

Great for dipping in Shibui sauce or pesto,

Sun-Dried Tomato and Basil:

Tastes like pizza without the crust or Caprese Salad in a bag,

and Garlic Lovers’:

Seasoned with garlic powder and roasted garlic granules for those who LOVE garlic!

Low-Moisture Whole Milk Mozzarella

It’s pizza night!  With our Low-Moisture Whole Milk Mozzarella you can bet it’s the best one you’ve ever made!  Check out my own personal pizza crust recipe.  Use your favorite seasonal vegetables and local, grass fed meat to make a super healthy supper!  Red Hills Market uses this on all of their amazing wood-fired oven pizzas.

Smoked Mozzarella

Our Smoked Mozzarella is also hand stretched but then molded into a block. It’s dryer than the Fresh Mozzarella and ages nicely. We naturally cold smoke this variety with Applewood.  Slice on sandwiches or grate to top your pizza.  Dundee Bistro uses this cheese on their Margareta Pizza.
