A Cheesy New Feature

Costa’s passengers will soon have a new, very Italian experience to enjoy aboard all their ships. They will enjoy fresh buffalo mozzarella paired with an assortment of quality Italian specialties. But this mozzarella isn’t just fresh, it’s beyond fresh because it’s made on the spot.

Passengers will be able to observe the cheese being made from the start of the process with buffalo milk curd to the finished product which they will be able to sample while it is still warm.
