Tillamook Mozzarella is a whole milk mozzarella from the Tillamook brand, owned by the farmer co-operative Tillamook County Creamery Association in Oregon, USA.
Mozzarella belongs to the pasta filata cheeses: the curd is heated and stretched, which gives it a fibrous, elastic texture. In the United States mozzarella is made from whole or part-skim milk; Tillamook's is the whole milk kind, with a mild, creamy taste. It is a firm mozzarella rather than a fresh one kept in brine, so it is easy to shred or slice.
Its main uses are pizza, baked pasta such as lasagne, grilled sandwiches and other dishes where the cheese should melt and stretch. In the oven it melts well and browns lightly. Keep it in the fridge and close the pack tightly once opened.
Other cheeses of this group are listed under Pasta filata cheeses.
Why it matters to you: for a caprese salad, choose fresh mozzarella in brine; for pizza and bakes, a firm mozzarella like Tillamook Mozzarella works better.
