Great spot for artisanal and fresh made cheeses. They also have classes that you can take or you can learn how to make them with beers and wine. read more

The Mozzarella Company - Went in to get a recommendation for a cheese similar to a Wisconsin mozzarella so I could make this Chicago style thin crust - Cheese Shops Near Me - Dallas, Texas

What a fun Saturday afternoon cheese making class! You learn the history of cheese making and the company then hands on make 4 different cheeses that you get to take home. At the end you have a cheese & wine tasting with the entire class. They also sold their own cheeses at a discount to attendees. I'm really glad I ran across this company at the Coppell Farmers Market. I've been buying cheeses from them there for years. If you're looking for a unique date idea, check this out! read more

See all

Took the class last weekend with my sister and had the best time! It's a higher price point but the volume of cheese we left with and the experience was well worth it! Our teacher was one of the owners and so proud and invested! Can't wait to eat all our cheese!!! read more

The Mozzarella Company - Making cheese! - Cheese Shops Near Me - Dallas, Texas

This place, their cheeses and their cheesemaking class is nothing short of amazing. My spouse and I attended their cheesemaking class, having tried several types of their cheese while living in Ft. Worth. The class is lead by the owner. It starts with a tour of their facilities including their traditions and history. You get to hear about how they developed several styles of cheese and see how the process unfolds. Then you make ricotta. This was a super fun start because ricotta is an easy cheese to make at home. (Yes, I've done it. I'm not lying.) You move on to make mozzarella balls, filled mozzarella, and queso Oaxaca. Each is similar to the next but each has a different step or variation in process. You get to take all of these cheeses home, along with your hair net ;-) and a really nice apron! THEN you have a wine and cheese tasting. They let you try a out 9 different styles of cheese, mingle with your fellow classmates, and ask questions. It is worth EVERY PENNY. Tip: If you made cheese consider going in even number groups because you split up in pairs. read more

I had a great time here! I attended for one of the cheese making sessions and it was a blast. You got to take home sooo much cheese!! It was fun to learn about the history of the company and how to make cheese. The staff was also very kind and the place is extremely hygienic. Fun event to attend with friends or a date! read more

The Mozzarella Company - Tours where you can make cheese! - Cheese Shops Near Me - Dallas, Texas

We took the mozzarella cheese class and learned the history of the company from the owner Mauricio. He explained the cheese making process thoroughly and we took a tour. Amazing how much handmade cheese comes out of this small operation. We had wine & tasted about 10 samples of different cheese both cow based and goat cheese. We made 3 different mozzarella cheeses that we took home after and had such a blast! Highly recommend this activity for couples, friends & family. You won't be disappointed! read more

I really don't understand this. When I visited the Mozzarella Company, they told me that a pound of fresh mozzarella was almost $17 a pound! I'm from NYC, and the most I EVER paid for a pound of mozzarella at an Italian pork store was about $7.00, and the quality was IMMENSELY better. Cost of living in Dallas is supposed to be way lower than NYC. Why is this acceptable? As you can see below, the company has decided to weigh in on my review without actually tackling my comments. I don't really care what awards you guys have won. It's Dallas. I could open a pizzeria on the moon and get an award for best pizza on the moon. In New York City salumerias, the cheese is also made in small batches, (just like Italy), and the quality is (like I said above), immensely better than theirs. $17 is ROBBERY for a pound of fresh mozzarella, and I'm USED to buying my cheese from MAFIA RUN stores, so don't even try it. read more

Great, friendly customer service and an excellent selection of common cheeses, as well as those you can't find at the local grocery store. They also offer samples of several different offerings, so you can get a decent idea of what you might like/dislike. If you plan on hanging out in the area (which is pretty great itself), make sure to bring a freezer bag to keep your purchase cool! If I lived In Dallas, I would frequent this business often. As a side note, they offer cheese making classes, which sound great. Check it out!!! read more

The Mozzarella Company - Cheese samples! - Cheese Shops Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Gotta love cheese. And boy do they have a ton. I sampled quite a few, but didn't buy any today with more errands to run and didn't want it sitting in the car. They are so nice, and I'm thinking of holidays already with this good stuff. You can also ship it if you like. I was full when I went in but have been wanting to stop by and it's right next to Rudolph's meat market on Elm. If you go and sample you might want to take some water with you. I didn't have any and they don't sell it. Therefore the flavors started to run together and I was extremely thirsty and halted prematurely. Everything I tried was good though. Several of the Caciotta's with ancho chile from mild to medium, one with texas basil and more. I really want the Mascarpone Torta that's layered and looks like a dessert. One is a Basil Pesto, another is Sun Dried Tomato and Basil Pesto, and the list goes on and on. If you like cheese, look up their link and you'll get the idea with photos that'll get your stomach churning. Heathe has the link in his review, but just in case you're feeling lazy it's http://www.mozzco.com/ read more

I bought a variety of cheese from them. I went in for the fresh mozzarella which is excellent. However, I bought a sun dried tomato and mozzarella cheese roll which was TERRIBLE. I suspect it was very old. I also got some goat milk's cheese which was good, Cabiotta or something like that in a yellow wax. I would go again to get fresh mozzarella but DO NOT buy mozzarella that's been fancy rolled with anything. Also make sure you read the dates that each cheese was packaged because I realized some of the goat cheese I bought was almost a year old. it tasted fine but for stopping in to a factory, I would expect to be sold fresher products. read more

The Mozzarella Company - Outside signage - Cheese Shops Near Me - Dallas, Texas

The Mozzarella Company is truly an artisinal cheese company. They do so much more than mozzarella! Paula Lambert and her staff are knowledgeable, friendly, and offer an immense variety of hand-crafted cheese. We had the pleasure of taking a cheese-making class (anniversary present to ourselves) and it was an amazing experience. Plus - we were able to take home what we made and Paula treated the class to a wine and cheese tasting after! Too many standout cheeses to list, but she covers the gamut and sources her milk as locally as possible. If you consider yourself a foodie or gourmand - this place is a must-visit! (PS - they also offer mail order!) read more

Steve Urkel would be in cheese heaven if he went to The Mozzarella Company. I am so happy there is a place like this in the area. I come here win I am working on a recipe that needs fresh mozzarella or pecorino, or parmasan cheeses. This is the best place to get every kind of cheese you can think of eating. They also offer classes on cheese making, cooking with cheese, as well as pairing of wines with cheeses. These classes are certainly worth taking if you take your cheese seriously. Love this place that is quickly becoming a Dallas landmark! read more

Ordering from this company has been the worst experience of my life! After being told that I had to pay a 4% surcharge because I was using a credit card they called to tell me that they could not ship my order by ground and that I had to pay them an additional $77 for 2 day air and it was against there shipping policy to send cheese via 3 day ground. This made the shipping over $100. Then they charged my credit card before we worked out all the details and now 4 days later I am still waiting for my money back. I will never order from them again. The salesman never stated the shipping policy, but was fast enough in charging my credit card for the $500. The shipping policy is not on their web site and I was not given the option to change my order before they charged the card. read more

Dallas is really luck to have this place near by. I will admit, before visiting I really didn't have a real appreciation for cheese. I didn't understand the details and complexities of different varieties. It all changed when I took one of their classes. Last I checked, they offered 3 different classes: wine and cheese, beer and cheese and cheese making. my wife and I took the wine and cheese pairing class. That class opened my eyes to the world of artisan made cheese. We went into detail on all of the cheeses and the wines - it was really helpful and we had a really great time. They are a fun group of people and very knowledgeable and more than anything, it gave me an excuse to try all of the different cheeses. I still have to stop in around the holidays and pick up some of their christmas cheese. I also really love the Smoked Scamorza, likely my favorite cheese in the world. read more

I've eaten this cheese just about everywhere except Dallas, namely Austin, Southlake, and Fort Worth. I finally made my way over to pick up a bit of this local cheese, and they had way more than just Mozzarella. (the name fails to do the place justice) The inside is just a 10X10 room with a small fridge and a desk. The big room is the production room in which the workers are just cranking balls after balls. Of cheese. The selections were a bunch of types I've never heard of, but I decided to stick with plain ol' Mozz to see what the fresh stuff was all about. Sadly, it wasn't mind-blowing. It was just plain and stringy, but I even bought the salty kind. Also, it was about a week old. I would prefer produced-the-same-day cheese if I went to the origin. Nonetheless, they have many types I will try in the near future. Cool, local place to try and buy some cultured milk. read more

We did the cheese making class a few weeks ago. We had SO much fun!!! It is not a big space but still fun to have a tour and be educated about cheese making. We made ricotta (well, for cheese experts, we technically made paneer), mozzarella, a mozzarella olive roll and Oaxaca string cheese. We also got to sample, I think, all of their cheeses! And wine was provided for the cheese tasting. It was a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon! Highly recommend. read more

Whenever you have specialty shops, you expect whatever their specialty is to be close to perfect. The Mozzarella Company sure lives up to the specialty shop expectations! My girlfriend had heard a lot about this shop, so the other day after a quick lunch at Pepe and Mitos, we wandered over to the Mozzarella Co. It's a small space, but that's all they need. Once you walk in, there is a check out counter immediately in front of you. You can actually see the cheese making being done in the adjacent room. This is really what it means when they say "fresh" and "local"...this is about as fresh as it gets! The glass door refrigerators contain a wide variety of their cheeses...mozzarella, cow and goat. I wasn't feeling as adventurous, so I opted with the plain mozzarella. When I say plain, this by no means describes the flavors or the quality of this cheese. Top of the line! My girlfriend got a praline ricotta, and a sun dried tomato mozzarella. She loved them both! Right before we left, we opened the freezers that were lined up along the wall. They were packed with frozen lasagna and other pasta dishes! I can't believe that we almost overlooked those! Will most definitely be coming back to this spot.....many times! read more

Stopped in here on a whim last Saturday because I was in the market for Rennet. I was attempting to make my own mozzarella, and I couldn't find Rennet anywhere in Dallas. I thought maybe this place would have it/sell it/recommend where to get it. I walked in a saw they had little make your own cheese kits that included rennet. The lady at the counter was excited I wanted to try and make my own (that surprised me since it meant I wasn't in the market to purchase their goods). She told me I didn't need to buy the kit because they sold rennet seperately. Hooray!! I bought what I needed and then she brought out a try of samples for me to try. They were delicious. I didn't purchase any that day, but I will be back for sure!! Cute little local shop with friendly customer service wins me over every time. read more

The cheese making class at the Mozzarella Company is awesome! Mauricio was informative and has a great sense of humor. He gave a brief overview of the history of the company - a great story, Dallas should be proud! - and the process. Then we had the hands on part and created various cheeses. The guys in the group (perhaps dragged there by their female partners!) really were engaged also - my husband took over and I had to fight to get my turn! Also, there was a team from the Mozzarella Company making this class possible, and their involvement shows their commitment to what they do: Create each artisan award winning cheese by hand for our enjoyment! Afterwards we tasted the prized cheeses, with wine of course and chatted with others in the group. This class appeals to everybody from casually interested to food nerds ! read more

What a great artisan cheese factory! Paula Lamberts own mozzarella cheese is here and once you enter the store you can see where all the cheese is freshly made. I tried their half goat/cow cheese and it was amazing. They had spicy cheese as well, but it wasn't super spicy, but it was tasty. They had a creamier cheese, which we ate plain, but I think it would be better off as a spread. For fun, our guide has us put both the creamy cheese and white chocolate in our mouth and eat it together--it tasted just like cheesecake because everything is so fresh. The cheese is tasty, rich, and flavorful. If you're looking for a fun way to see how cheese is made and get freshly made mozzarella, stop by here! read more

This place is phenomenal! You can tell they put their heart and soul into making these gourmet cheeses. It is a Dallas staple and if you see it on a menu, you know you're at a great place. You are not going into Kroger here for some cheese, so do not expect the prices. You are getting a delicacy that they personally work their hands through (in Dallas) to make it the unique experience you're paying for. Awesome place to go as well...team building events, dates, cooking classes and so on. Can't say enough great things about it. read more

Unfortunately, the worst tasting mozzarella I've ever had. I really don't understand how they can make a product that is the quality of a Polly-o or other factory cheese and charge so much. They really need to take a quick trip to NY, taste real fresh mozzarella and they will better understand why the negative reviews. I'm sure the classes are fun, but I'm talking about the taste of the cheese. It is really bad, almost tasting like spoiled milk. Shame. If an A&S Pork Store from Long Island, NY opened up near this place, the Mozzarella Co would be gone in a NY minute. I guess it's just a matter of time. My search for quality mozzarella continues. read more

The cheese making class at The Mozzarella company was a lot of fun and very informative! We got a tour of the facility along with a detailed explanation of the cheese making process, made several different cheeses, and finished the day off by sampling a bunch of Mozzarella Company products (with wine included). A few weeks later, we are still making our way through all of the cheese we were able to bring home with us. We would definitely recommend this class and Mozzarella Company cheese! read more

Oh, Deep Ellum! I miss you and I am so sorry we never became fully acquainted! I'm so glad I got a gift certificate to the Mozzarella Company so I could see you again! Mozzarella Company is snuggled in a storefront corner. Inside you will find two large freezers refrigerators with fresh pre-packaged cheeses, packed in 1/2 lb portions. The cheeses offered are varied, from oaxaca mexican cheese to smoked mozzarella to goat ricotta cheese. There are a LOT. The large windows behind the counter give you a glimpse into the factory area where the cheese is made. You can tell there's a little history here, what with the pictures and mementos on the walls. The cheese is very high quality, albeit pricey but of course, you get what you pay for. Excellent place to purchase specialty cheeses. read more

HOLY HELL IN A FRUITBASKET!!!!! THIS PLACE ROCKS!!!! If you are a cheese lover like I am (I think I am part rat or some kind of cheese-devouring rodent) then you need to make youself known there. So many cheeses to choose from and so little time. This outing I chose the Texas Goat cheese with herbs and the Pesto Mozzarella roll. The goat cheese was great-tangy, soft, and the herbs added the just amount of kick that one needs. The pesto mozzarella roll was ok-too much pesto in my opinion. And whats even better about this place is that they can do orders online. Go to www.mozzco.com or if you are downtown then pay'em a visit. read more

Swung by and purchased a mozzarella roll with sun dried tomatoes. Used it for a capris salad and then Margareta pizza. I will never use any other mozzarella again. Well worth the drive and worth every penny. read more

WOW! This place is truly a Dallas Landmark and I am thrilled to have stumbled upon it. A friend was looking for some goat cheese - she found a great one in Austin at a farmer's market but we don't live in Austin - We were women on a mission! We tried the Dallas Farmer's Market - lots of fresh fruits and veggies, some farm eggs and local meats, but very few cheeses. We asked one of the meat vendors about goat cheese and he pointed us to Mozzarella Company. If you don't look closely you'll miss this place - it is non-descript and right on the corner of Walton and Elm. you walk in a see the huge tanks for cheese making, it is VERY CLEAN inside. They have coolers filled with cheeses - Goat cheese, fresh Ricotta, Marscapone Trifles, Mozzarella balls (my favorite is the one with Prosciutto). Then they opened up the freezer - they make fresh Sweet cream butter and I wanted some - it was filled with fresh pizzas and lasagnas. We came home to hungry husbands who tore into the cheeses with happy grunts escaping their mouths periodically. The pizza was easy to make (I put it on my Pampered chef Pizza Stone and BAM it was done) and it tasted fabulous. They have Cheesemaking classes for 75$ per person - if you have a group of 10 people you can get a private tour. read more

For being handmade and from scratch, these cheeses are pretty fantastico! I'm in love with the sweet cream cheese with pralines, I can eat that by the truckload. They don't give tours, but you can stop by their shop anytime and see all the cheeses being made. Pretty neat. And they give samples! Just hafta ask :D read more

Great Cheese... and they often do classes too. worth the time to check it out

Am I the only person in Dallas that didn't know we have an artisan cheese company in the hood?! That's right- down in the Ellum-- Paula Lamberts own mozzarella cheese co has been producing pounds and pounds of glorious goat and cow productions for 30-- yes you heard me- THIRTY years this year! I stumbled upon this place with a crew of fabulous females in my book and foodie group. We signed up for their wine and cheese class. It started at 630- a little early? No worries- drop in next door for a little pre class wine or cocktail concoction at local bar. Class started with an Aussie white wine and sampling of breads and a few cheeses. Of course all the cheeses are made there. Next was the class- full plate offering with over 10 cheeses! Over 6 different wines- including a port. All for the very reasonable cost of $50. I've done alot of wine tastings and their wine connoisseur does a fabulous job- did not disappoint! Great for a small group, girls night out, couples, etc read more

If you want to eat cheese in North Texas This little shop is the bestest. With mozzarella and goats You will be leaving saying "totes." Though smaller than we thought We still ate a lot. The woman working there was really nice And the cheese was a good price. Smoked, black peppered, or flecked with ancho Get off Yelp and go there pronto. I hope you enjoyed reading this review I know it will be helpful to you. read more

This is as good as cheese gets! Just a small informal storefront in Deep Ellum with the freshest mozzarella ever. They sport a variety of cheeses other than just mozzarella, such as the amazing herbed goat, all house-made; though the mozzarella is a hands-down winner and unbelieveable for the price! They offer an interesting selection and accompanyments for your cheeses; as well as amazing classes on cheesemaking and wine pairing, which include a tour of the factory. read more

This place is awesome! Had no idea anything like this existed in Dallas. In the heart of Deep Ellum, Mozzco offers a wide variety of homemade cheeses. It's surprising considering how small the place is! We took a cheese making class which includes a tour of the factory and a chance to make your own fresh mozzarella to take home. At the end of the class, there is a tasting where you get to sample about 10 different cheeses and pair them with wine and some delicious breads. The instructors/guides are super friendly and knowledgeable and the class size is small enough that everyone gets personal attention and help when they need it. Great idea for a family/friends outing or an afternoon date! read more

This place only survives because they are in Dallas and people here don't know what good mozzarella is. It's extremely over-priced, the employees were rude and the mozzarella was NOT good. read more

love, love, loved this place! I am visiting from California and love cheese- so i decided to pop in with my brother and mom. Unfortunately we missed the cheese making class the night before but a man working in the front gave us our own little cheese sampling session. AMAZING!! I am a cheese and chocolate snob and this surpased anything i have eaten! My favorite is the Pecan Praline mascarpone. Its a must to go and at least get that one! read more

Definitely recommend the cheese making class! We had the best time and every cheese is so delicious!

If you want the best cheese in America, this is where you want to go. Miss Paula Lambert is the Cheesiest Chef I know lol. Always coming up with new recipes and blowing peoples minds. She is an inspiration to all chefs around. read more

Such a cute little place with the tastiest cheeses!! The class was fun, the samples I took home are amazing! Answered all my questions (there were several), and they are very knowledgeable. I plan on going back and bringing some friends next time! read more

This place is amazing! My husband and I went to a cheese making class because we have tried several mozzarella company cheeses and are big fans. They make a great assortment of cheeses and we love supporting the best local shops. The class was also informative and so much fun! Maurizio and Ross (the owners) taught us how to make several cheeses, with the help of several cheese makers, and then we even got to take the cheese home. Would highly recommend their award winning cheeses as well as the cheese making class. The blue cheese and the various goat cheeses are my favorites! read more

Held executive team after-meeting event at the Mozzarella Company and could not have been more pleased. The staff was helpful with arrangements and offered extra insights to the area because we were from out-of-town. Friendly, engaging, warm, informative, interesting, delicious--our team of 12 all had great things to say about our evening. Thank you, Mozzarella Company! read more
