You ready?
2
You guys ready?
3
Make sure you say wow, okay?
4
Wow!
5
My name is Horacio Garciotto.
6
I'm owner of Casa La Mozzarella, my son.
7
And we make fresh mozzarella for the city of New York.
8
This is the mozzarella curd.
9
Get a piece of curd like that, you cut through the guitar, and make small pieces.
10
Because if you do this, you warm it up with hot water from the sink.
11
Put some salt, give it a little taste.
12
Because every day, the curd is different.
13
Music.
14
Okay, now you guys ready?
15
Now we've got to come to the big part.
16
From someone like he's been doing for 26 years, I could say the hardest part is that knowing what's enough water, what's not.
17
Once you put too much hot water in, it messes it up is by filling.
18
You see now they started melting already?
19
It looks like what I put it wasn't just the right.
20
you you It's actually unbelievable sometimes how water on a paddle can create something like this, because it just became a work of art.
21
Okay, now we're ready for this shot because I pull it up now.
22
Okay, now, Carlo, we make the bocconcini, and we make the mozzarella.
23
The main thing that some people don't understand is, as you can see, we're not wearing gloves.
24
Everything is clean, but there is no way possible.
25
that you can make mozzarella with gloves.
26
Because if mozzarella is so hot, it'll melt the plastic and you can't get the feel of the touch.
27
With art, you sculpt, you design, and you start from scratch on the canvas.
28
So for me, this is an Italian culture of art displayed through food.
29
I have the best job in the world.
30
from 1993 to now.
31
It's 24 years.
32
You feel good when people appreciate what you're doing.
33
They treat me like I'm God.
34
I'm not.
35
I'm just making myself, let's say.
36
You know, everyone has an idol, right?
37
Some people like Derek Jeter, some people like Carmelo Antti.
38
Not many people can say like their father's their idol to see from what he drove in 1993 until he drives now.
39
Not that it matters, but the - Yes the sacrifice he put in
40
to see on Christmas he would sleep in the store in the basement.
41
Just.. to make the extra mozzarella.
42
People from Italy come here and say, "I've never had mozzarella like this in my life." That makes this for me coming every day, satisfying.
43
I'm happy, right? is my fault.
44
This to me is like a story and a work of art and a canvas
45
that's too beautiful to not keep using as a canvas.
46
It's what makes me hungry.
47
and determined to keep this because at the end I feel like as ready as this is There's another chapter, and I want to be that person to write that chapter for him when he's done.
48
Bye.

About This Lesson
You're practicing English with "How Mozzarella Is Made" using the Shadowing technique — a method originally developed for professional interpreter training.
Focus on sounding like the speaker — not just repeating words. With 15–30 minutes of daily practice, you'll build real-world speaking confidence.
What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
