I was stoked the day I came across the That’s Amore cheese brand (which was years ago now). I adore their products. They use the best quality cow and buffalo milk, sourced locally from Victorian farmers.All of their cheese products are 100% natural and free of preservative and artificial colours.I’ve used their incredible buffalo mozzarella in this beautiful, simple and family friendly gnocchi bake. You must give it a go!
