If you've never been to Claudio's King of Cheese over in the Italian Market at 929 S. 9th St, you can still taste their goods over at Sue's Produce on 18th St just north of Rittenhouse Square. Claudio's mozzarella is marvelous. I like it better than the stuff I've bought from DiBruno. It's also a little cheaper.
They go for $6/lbs. at Sue's selling in $3, 1/2 lbs containers in large balls and the tiny bite sized ones. Lady and I went through a container in a day and a half. I could've gone through it all by myself in one sitting [something I've done in the past], but I lengthened this experience a bit.
PW wrote an article on Claudio's last July when they opened and I've just now gotten the chance to try out their goods. Mmmmm. There's nothing like some fresh mozzarella.
