I am still not sure about notzarella - grated it over a pasta bake this week and it didn't melt as I had hoped but I still enjoyed it on the bake - it has melted a little on pizza.Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-20228497600175636442014-06-10T20:53:54.572+10:002014-06-10T20:53:54.572+10:00oozing with jealousy that you won the vitasoy hamp...oozing with jealousy that you won the vitasoy hamper ;-) <br />How awesome are those mayvers spreads? my daughter LOVES them.
