Thanks for setting things right from… Italy. The best pizzas I enjoyed were eaten in Napoli, and all of them had fior di latte topping, of course. I was pointed to the importance of the choice between bufala and fiordilatte(cow milk mozzarella) by Neapolitan friends, luckily i was well suggested.

My interpretation of the push toward mozzarella di bufala from some food operators:
mozzarella made of bufala milk is more expensive of the other type, no wonder that some pizzerias (this happens also here in Catania more and more often and is not a good trend) tend to offer it as a “premium” feature even if the overall quality of the pizza worsens.

I kept flipping back to the front cover to make sure I hadn’t picked up Maxim by mistake. On the upside, he probably saved himself a lot of time by cutting out the pesky “research” thing.
