1
00:00:00,230 --> 00:00:01,000
You ready?

2
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:01,860
You guys ready?

3
00:00:01,860 --> 00:00:02,920
Make sure you say "Wow," okay?

4
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:04,240
[People behind camera]
WOOOWWW

5
00:00:05,566 --> 00:00:06,136
THIS

6
00:00:06,136 --> 00:00:06,916
IS

7
00:00:06,916 --> 00:00:07,826
HOW

8
00:00:07,826 --> 00:00:09,376
MOZARELLA

9
00:00:09,376 --> 00:00:10,676
IS MADE

10
00:00:11,510 --> 00:00:13,010
My name is Orazio Carciotto

11
00:00:13,245 --> 00:00:15,405
I'm the owner of Casa Della Mozarella;
[with] my son,

12
00:00:16,034 --> 00:00:18,819
[Carlo] And we make fresh mozarella
for the city of New York.

13
00:00:20,130 --> 00:00:21,867
[Orazio]
This is the mozarella curd

14
00:00:21,968 --> 00:00:23,371
You get a piece of curd like that,

15
00:00:23,491 --> 00:00:25,291
to cut through the guitar

16
00:00:25,371 --> 00:00:27,241
and make these small pieces

17
00:00:27,795 --> 00:00:29,445
Because our to do list [is]
to warm it up

18
00:00:29,445 --> 00:00:31,428
with the hot water from the sink

19
00:00:32,741 --> 00:00:34,761
Pour some salt, give a little taste,

20
00:00:34,761 --> 00:00:36,639
because every day, it's gonna be different

21
00:00:43,379 --> 00:00:44,819
Okay, now, you guys ready?

22
00:00:44,819 --> 00:00:46,225
Now, come the big paddle

23
00:00:51,907 --> 00:00:54,243
[Carlo] From someone—like he's been doing
for twenty six years,

24
00:00:54,243 --> 00:00:56,357
so I could say the hardest part, is that

25
00:00:56,357 --> 00:00:58,702
knowing when it's enough water,
and when it's not

26
00:00:58,708 --> 00:01:00,342
Once you put too much hot water,

27
00:01:00,342 --> 00:01:01,252
it messes it up

28
00:01:01,433 --> 00:01:02,344
[Orazio]
It's by feeling;

29
00:01:02,550 --> 00:01:04,210
you see now it starts to
to melt already?

30
00:01:04,662 --> 00:01:06,900
Looks like the water poured was just right

31
00:01:10,294 --> 00:01:11,863
[Carlo]
It's actually unbelievable, sometimes,

32
00:01:11,863 --> 00:01:14,990
how water and a paddle could create
something like this,

33
00:01:14,990 --> 00:01:17,086
'cause it just became
a work of art

34
00:01:17,738 --> 00:01:20,637
[Orazio] Okay, now we ready for this shot?
'Cause I'm pulling up now

35
00:01:29,462 --> 00:01:33,902
Okay, now, Carlo will make the Bocconcini;
I'll make the mozarella

36
00:01:38,401 --> 00:01:40,915
[Carlo] But the main thing that some people
don't understand is, as you can see,

37
00:01:40,915 --> 00:01:41,900
we're not wearing gloves

38
00:01:41,948 --> 00:01:46,308
Everything is clean, but there's no way
that you can make mozarella with gloves,

39
00:01:46,308 --> 00:01:48,898
because the mozarella's so hot
it'll melt the plastic,

40
00:01:48,904 --> 00:01:50,794
and you can't get the feel of the touch

41
00:01:51,014 --> 00:01:53,044
In art, you sculpt, you design,

42
00:01:53,044 --> 00:01:55,048
and you start from scratch on the canvas,

43
00:01:55,049 --> 00:01:57,428
so for me, this is
an Italian culture of art,

44
00:01:57,428 --> 00:01:58,976
displayed in food

45
00:02:16,717 --> 00:02:18,359
[Orazio]
I have the best job in the world;

46
00:02:18,373 --> 00:02:20,643
from 1993 to now;
that's 24 years

47
00:02:20,650 --> 00:02:22,900
You feel good when people appreciate
what you're doing

48
00:02:22,900 --> 00:02:25,030
They treat me like I'm God,
but I'm not

49
00:02:25,030 --> 00:02:26,577
I'm just making mozarella, that's it

50
00:02:35,328 --> 00:02:36,898
[Carlo]
Y'know, everyone has an idol, right?

51
00:02:36,898 --> 00:02:39,811
Some people like [artist's name],
some people like [other artist's name],

52
00:02:39,811 --> 00:02:42,795
not many people can say like,
their father's their idol;

53
00:02:42,936 --> 00:02:47,746
To see from what he drove in 1993
until what he drives now,

54
00:02:47,746 --> 00:02:50,775
not that it matters, but to see
the sacrifice he put in,

55
00:02:50,775 --> 00:02:54,414
to see how in Christmas, he would sleep
in the store, in the basement,

56
00:02:54,842 --> 00:02:57,212
just to make the extra mozarella

57
00:02:57,473 --> 00:02:59,075
People from Italy come here to say,

58
00:02:59,075 --> 00:03:01,917
"I've never had mozarella like this
in my life."

59
00:03:01,917 --> 00:03:04,869
That makes this, for me, coming here
everyday, satisfying

60
00:03:04,875 --> 00:03:07,045
I'm happy that he's my father

61
00:03:19,692 --> 00:03:23,312
This, to me, is like a story
and a work of art,

62
00:03:23,312 --> 00:03:28,263
and a canvas, that's too beautiful
to not keep using as a canvas

63
00:03:28,263 --> 00:03:32,025
It's what makes me hungry and
determined to keep this,

64
00:03:32,025 --> 00:03:34,054
because at the end, I feel like,
as great as this is,

65
00:03:34,054 --> 00:03:35,635
there's another chapter,

66
00:03:35,698 --> 00:03:39,378
and I want to be that person to write
that chapter for when it's done
