This just in. Important research – complete with charts, diagrams, calculations, graphs, and footnotes – that proves that mozzarella is the perfect cheese for pizza. The study’s goal was to quantify properties, such as browning and blistering of different cheeses, and to then investigate the correlation of properties such as rheology (flow of matter for you non-chemists), free oil, water activity, and transition temperature. Not that we really need research to prove that mozzarella is the perfect cheese for pizza, but it’s nice to know there is research to prove it.
