Hello! This is my first post and I am sure my questions have been asked before-- I thank you for your patience.
1- My cheese has nice consistency, but little flavor. Is lipase the answer?
2- How do you get the meltability like store bought, or like that on a fresh pizza??
Thank you!
What recipe did you use for making your mozzarella? If the 30-minute method, it makes a cheese that will stretch on pizza, but doesn't have a lot of flavor. It is a good recipe for learning how to stretch mozz, but doesn't produce great flavor. A cultured mozzarella will give you better flavor. Here (https://cheeseforum.org/forum/index.php/topic,4155.0.html) is a link to the thread on the recipe I came up with for cultured mozzarella.
As for meltability, I'm not sure what the issue was. Did your cheese stretch well? Hopefully someone may have some answers for you.
Thank you, MrsKK
My mom makes a really good mozzarella cheese. She found this site: http://fiascofarm.com/dairy/mozzarella.htm (http://fiascofarm.com/dairy/mozzarella.htm), and that really helped her perfect her method and get good, consistent results. It's a great, informative site with lots of pics.. check it out! She also had trouble with flavor at first, and found that, yes, she needed the lipase to give it that real yummy mozz taste, like you'd find in store-bought cheese.
Hope this helps!
