The Best Mozzarella is Made Next Door
Tasting Table met my neighbor and master Mozzarella maker Georgiana DePalma Tedone (Times video profile), the wonderful woman behind the counter at the unmarked Tedone Latticini deli on Metropolitan.
Her small storefront, Tedone Latticini, houses a modest, well-manicured selection of Italian goods, but the real draw is the fresh mozzarella this ivory-haired nonagenarian has been making by hand every morning for more than 75 years.
And though anyone can now make his or her own at home, Tedone crafts her mozzarella using the same technique she learned at her parents’ dairy counter–the proof of these years of experience lies in the unmatched flavor of her cheese.
Tedone Latticini is at 597 Metropolitan Ave and I swear to God has some of the best italian meats and cheeses you’ll ever taste.
