While studying in Italy as a college student, Paula Lambert first tasted local handmade mozzarella. The experience was an "Aha!" moment for the young Texan. She decided to apprentice with an Italian cheesemaker to learn the process, and established a production facility in Dallas, opening in 1982. Texas chefs appreciated the handmade cheeses and serve them at their restaurants, and Paula's business took off. Today, Mozzarella Company produced 100,000 pounds of handmade cheeses sold nationwide.
