00:00:00.230 --> 00:00:01.000
You ready?

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:01.860
You guys ready?

00:00:01.860 --> 00:00:02.920
Make sure you say "Wow," okay?

00:00:02.920 --> 00:00:04.240
[People behind camera]
WOOOWWW

00:00:05.566 --> 00:00:06.136
THIS

00:00:06.136 --> 00:00:06.916
IS

00:00:06.916 --> 00:00:07.826
HOW

00:00:07.826 --> 00:00:09.376
MOZARELLA

00:00:09.376 --> 00:00:10.676
IS MADE

00:00:11.510 --> 00:00:13.010
My name is Orazio Carciotto

00:00:13.245 --> 00:00:15.405
I'm the owner of Casa Della Mozarella;
[with] my son,

00:00:16.034 --> 00:00:18.819
[Carlo] And we make fresh mozarella
for the city of New York.

00:00:20.130 --> 00:00:21.867
[Orazio]
This is the mozarella curd

00:00:21.968 --> 00:00:23.371
You get a piece of curd like that,

00:00:23.491 --> 00:00:25.291
to cut through the guitar

00:00:25.371 --> 00:00:27.241
and make these small pieces

00:00:27.795 --> 00:00:29.445
Because our to do list [is]
to warm it up

00:00:29.445 --> 00:00:31.428
with the hot water from the sink

00:00:32.741 --> 00:00:34.761
Pour some salt, give a little taste,

00:00:34.761 --> 00:00:36.639
because every day, it's gonna be different

00:00:43.379 --> 00:00:44.819
Okay, now, you guys ready?

00:00:44.819 --> 00:00:46.225
Now, come the big paddle

00:00:51.907 --> 00:00:54.243
[Carlo] From someone—like he's been doing
for twenty six years,

00:00:54.243 --> 00:00:56.357
so I could say the hardest part, is that

00:00:56.357 --> 00:00:58.702
knowing when it's enough water,
and when it's not

00:00:58.708 --> 00:01:00.342
Once you put too much hot water,

00:01:00.342 --> 00:01:01.252
it messes it up

NOTE Paragraph

00:01:01.433 --> 00:01:02.344
[Orazio]
It's by feeling;

00:01:02.550 --> 00:01:04.210
you see now it starts to
to melt already?

00:01:04.662 --> 00:01:06.900
Looks like the water poured was just right

00:01:10.294 --> 00:01:11.863
[Carlo]
It's actually unbelievable, sometimes,

00:01:11.863 --> 00:01:14.990
how water and a paddle could create
something like this,

00:01:14.990 --> 00:01:17.086
'cause it just became
a work of art

00:01:17.738 --> 00:01:20.637
[Orazio] Okay, now we ready for this shot?
'Cause I'm pulling up now

00:01:29.462 --> 00:01:33.902
Okay, now, Carlo will make the Bocconcini;
I'll make the mozarella

00:01:38.401 --> 00:01:40.915
[Carlo] But the main thing that some people
don't understand is, as you can see,

00:01:40.915 --> 00:01:41.900
we're not wearing gloves

00:01:41.948 --> 00:01:46.308
Everything is clean, but there's no way
that you can make mozarella with gloves,

00:01:46.308 --> 00:01:48.898
because the mozarella's so hot
it'll melt the plastic,

00:01:48.904 --> 00:01:50.794
and you can't get the feel of the touch

00:01:51.014 --> 00:01:53.044
In art, you sculpt, you design,

00:01:53.044 --> 00:01:55.048
and you start from scratch on the canvas,

00:01:55.049 --> 00:01:57.428
so for me, this is
an Italian culture of art,

00:01:57.428 --> 00:01:58.976
displayed in food

00:02:16.717 --> 00:02:18.359
[Orazio]
I have the best job in the world;

00:02:18.373 --> 00:02:20.643
from 1993 to now;
that's 24 years

00:02:20.650 --> 00:02:22.900
You feel good when people appreciate
what you're doing

00:02:22.900 --> 00:02:25.030
They treat me like I'm God,
but I'm not

00:02:25.030 --> 00:02:26.577
I'm just making mozarella, that's it

00:02:35.328 --> 00:02:36.898
[Carlo]
Y'know, everyone has an idol, right?

00:02:36.898 --> 00:02:39.811
Some people like [artist's name],
some people like [other artist's name],

00:02:39.811 --> 00:02:42.795
not many people can say like,
their father's their idol;

00:02:42.936 --> 00:02:47.746
To see from what he drove in 1993
until what he drives now,

00:02:47.746 --> 00:02:50.775
not that it matters, but to see
the sacrifice he put in,

00:02:50.775 --> 00:02:54.414
to see how in Christmas, he would sleep
in the store, in the basement,

00:02:54.842 --> 00:02:57.212
just to make the extra mozarella

00:02:57.473 --> 00:02:59.075
People from Italy come here to say,

00:02:59.075 --> 00:03:01.917
"I've never had mozarella like this
in my life."

00:03:01.917 --> 00:03:04.869
That makes this, for me, coming here
everyday, satisfying

00:03:04.875 --> 00:03:07.045
I'm happy that he's my father

00:03:19.692 --> 00:03:23.312
This, to me, is like a story
and a work of art,

00:03:23.312 --> 00:03:28.263
and a canvas, that's too beautiful
to not keep using as a canvas

00:03:28.263 --> 00:03:32.025
It's what makes me hungry and
determined to keep this,

00:03:32.025 --> 00:03:34.054
because at the end, I feel like,
as great as this is,

00:03:34.054 --> 00:03:35.635
there's another chapter,

00:03:35.698 --> 00:03:39.378
and I want to be that person to write
that chapter for when it's done
