Fiore's Deli - The Best Fresh Mozzarella

Made fresh daily, this creamy-rich mozzarella cheese melts in your mouth and has the perfect bite to it. They have been in the business since 1913, close to a 100 years in business. I only feel privileged that I have had the opportunity to taste this delicious mozzarella made from their family recipe.

They use their fresh mozzarella for sandwiches with the deli meats and yummy antipasti that is prepared in house.

I use their mozzarella cheese for making pizza napoletana at home and it melts and mixes in with the tomato sauce perfectly!

Say no more......you need to visit Hoboken to try their cheese. More details at http://www.fioresdeli.com/
