  1. Dan, this is very confusing. Some graphics would be helpful to explain the pH and stretch characteristics. Personally, I like the blobs of Mozzarella di bufalo or fiore di latte on my pizza as long as they are not too large. I don;t want a universal coating of any one ingredient.

  2. What if I mix mozzarella with something less stretchy? Would I get an intermediate stretch or would some parts be stretchier than others or would the whole structure turn amorphous? I suppose it depends on how homogeneous the mix is, but I bet you can find interesting results from different blends.
