The Mozzarella Company

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!

Awesome girls weekend event. The tour and cheese making class was fantastic and we got to learn how to make ricotta and mozzarella. The best part was you get to bring it all home with you! We had a great time and Paula is fantastic as well as her whole staff. I highly recommend this for something fun to do in Dallas that is not the norm. I can see why she has been in business for 30 years. Magnifico!

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.

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 ½ 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.

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!

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.

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 Unilocal and go there pronto.
I hope you enjoyed reading this review
I know it will be helpful to you.

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.

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

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!

Mozzarella is their claim to fame, but we lean to their chevre. Odd operating hours and some of their cheeses are just ok. Love to support independents, fresh and local, but it still comes down to the quality of the curd and there are plenty better.

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.

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!)

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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
or if you are downtown then pay’em a visit.
