Biting into a proper piece of mozzarella in any of its forms – be it bufula, burrata, stracciatella, fior di latte, or those cute little mini-mozzarellas – is a highlight of life. The creamy, subdued flavour combined with the bouncy, stretchy texture that can give Mr Fantastic a run for his money on a good day has made it one of the most popular cheeses in the world.

Maltas’s got some respectable mozzarella game, but one lowkey mozzarella bar that’s been open since 2016 might just be making some of the best mozzarella on the island, and you might have never even heard of it.

And they’re not just stocking burrata – they’ve got mozzarella categories for days

And that includes lactose-free mozzarella and gluten-free mozzarella

As well as a long, honourable line of other Italian cheeses, meats, and pasta

And all the oil-based assortments you could want
