@nex3 according to Lynne Rossetto Kasper, ca. 1999, buffalo milk mozzarella, when made, has 24 flavour properties. for each hour after it is made, a property is lost to age

this is as scientific as i think i'm able to deliver, and it's also the first question i ask whenever i see fresh batches in brine being sold at a fromagerie: "how old is this mozz"
