How To Make Mozzarella Cheese with Matteo Lane & Chris Distefano - ep 11

Teach Me Daddy

This week on Teach Me Daddy, we are learning how to make cheese! Specifically fresh mozzarella! Matteo Lane & Chris Distefano dive into the delicious world of cheese, learning how to make mozzarella from scratch! With the guidance of their friend Nino Palummo, the comedians take a break from their usual romantic lessons to tackle something equally essential to life: cheese-making. Whether you're a cheese connoisseur or just someone who loves a good sandwich, this episode will have you laughing and learning all at once.

The episode kicks off with a step-by-step guide to making mozzarella at home. Chris and Matteo discover that it’s not as easy as it looks, but they persevere, turning milk into stretchy, creamy mozzarella right before your eyes and ears! Thank you to Nino and be sure to give him a follow and hire him for a fun night with friends or family! https://www.ninothemozzman.com/

Here’s a quick rundown of the steps they followed:

1. Heat the Milk: Start with fresh, high-quality whole milk, heating it to around 85°F.

2. Add Rennet & Citric Acid: Once the milk is at the right temperature, add citric acid to help the curds form. Then, rennet is added to set the curds.

3. Cut the Curds After letting the mixture sit, the curds start to form. Matteo talks about how cutting curds feels oddly satisfying, like popping bubble wrap but cheesier.

4. Heat & Stretch the Curds: The curds are heated again and stretched to achieve that classic mozzarella texture.

5. Form the Mozzarella Balls: Finally, the mozzarella is shaped into balls and cooled in an ice bath. The episode ends with Matteo and Chris triumphantly showing off their homemade cheese, declaring that mozzarella truly belongs on sandwiches!

And to those who dare to say mozzarella doesn’t belong on a sandwich—Chris and Matteo have a few choice words for you. Shame! Whether it's a classic Italian sub or a creative twist on grilled cheese, mozzarella's gooey goodness is unmatched. This episode is filled with laughs, cheesy puns, and the undeniable truth: mozzarella makes everything better, especially sandwiches.

Tune in for all the fun, food, and a reminder that sometimes the simplest pleasures, like making cheese from scratch, can teach us something about life... and love.
