If you want to experiment even more and don’t want to settle for just mozzarella. Look for other cheeses that can replace it fantastically. One such cheese is Burrata, the center of which is creamy and oozes out beautifully when sliced. When you eat it, you will feel the taste of cream and a slight saltiness. Another such cheese is Bocconcini. This cheese is best enjoyed fresh on its own or on pizza.
