Mozzarella In Carrozza with Prosciutto di Parma

By Luca Ciano

As featured in Episode 4, Season 2, of Luca’s Key Ingredient on Channel 10. It’s cheesy, salty, and the perfect little appetiser! Luca’s take on this classic recipe uses our buffalo milk cheeses paired with prosciutto di parma and anchovy, which is a beautiful savoury addition to amp up the umami kick.
