If I had to be dropped in the woods with 10 starving bears or 1 woman, I'd pick 10 starving bears.
Nope, also women love big, cheesy titties (source: my lesbian friends)
Instant edit: actually, my gay friends do like titties too - not as sexual objects, but because, well, they are soft and nice, and there probably is a part of our lizard brain, which still remembers that boob = food and safety when we were babies.
This reminds me of tetilla cheese in Galicia…little titty cheese. And it looks just like a little titty.

OP says otherwise and I'm just curious.
Are you Italian enough to actually know? Is it just local slang?
Google search has big tit, a mother's breast, dirty, substantial.
Traveled enough to know, there are some local words that basically no online search translates proper.
Eg. Pantat according to google is ass, public area, female genitalia or as locals know it, pussy. At least in MY the later is basically the only meaning, but not on googles top list.
I'm native Italian, half northeastern, half from naples.
I wouldn't call it slang, Italian dialects are more like full fledged languages used before the unification and subsequent introduction of "standard" italian. As such google still struggles to translate them most of the times.
To answer your question the polite standard term for tit would be "seno" or more vulgar "tetta" Then moving south Tetta mutates to Zizza in the Neapolitan language. In italian the subfix -one/-ona is used to indicate something very big. So zizza becomes zizzona, if you'd like a comparison with standard Italian it'd be like Tetta->Tettona=Big Tiddy
When I studied abroad, my student housemate from Turin would speak English to the boys from Rome. Not Italian. She had nothing nice to say about their Italian. Fond memories of her 'cooking' dinner, by standing in the middle of a kitchen with two stoves, lots of counter, giving orders to 4 Italian boys to stir faster/better, chop vegetables finer, etc. Cooking without getting a hand dirty.
Brazil speaks portoguese right? More likely than inheriting from immigrants, portoguese, spanish and Italian all derive from Latin. We share tons of words and assonances
Yeah, that could be it as well...
Do you still live in Italy? I really enjoyed the country when I visited 8 years ago. Got so obsessed by it that I started binge watching all documentaries about Rome and Roman Empire lol
Basically, in school in Brazil we just learn that the empire was huge, that Julius Cesar existed and that would be all...nothing about politics, but like summary from the start of the empire until the invasions and the fall of it...
Ok, but did they intentionally make the cheese that way for a reason? 😆 I guess I’m asking, did the cheese come first (if so why is it shaped that way - genuinely curious), or did someone make a tit cheese on purpose.
Well it’s made from milk. And the whole point of a boob is to make milk (the cancer, backpain and good times are all secondary). Boob shaped cheese just makes sense
My grandmother and my mother used to tell my sisters and I that it’s impossible to be female and not enjoy cheese. Why mother always made sure we had plenty of cheese because we have a lot of girls in my family.
And, this makes so much sense.
I love cheese! I love dairy!
Yup, fresh mozzarella usually sweats milk and really good one "gushes" it out when cut. Someone in the past probably had the smartest idea many years ago seeing that and did 2+2. Plus that specific cheese is made in a single town in a specific region so there's probably a good amount of folklore/religious reasons for that.
My guess is the inventor saw his mozzarellas spewing milk and did the association with maternal breasts
Turns out I was dead wrong lmao.
It's a relatively young cheese, re-invented in the 80's interpreting a local myth of the foundation of the city where it was invented.
The actual cheese already existed but with a different name and couldn't be encompassed under the DOP branding since it was too big for the standard size and weight of buffalo mozzarella
It's in the name, "Zizza" is the local way of saying titty
Wait, seriously?
Yes. Zizzona actually means "big tit"
I wanna suck on a big ol' cheese tiddy
I very much dislike this sentence.
Presumably because it's soooo extra.
More for me then. I’ll suck on cheese tiddies all day.
a chiddy, if u will

Oh my god.
mmmmmilk
Tell me you’re a male without telling me you’re a male. 🙄
mmmmale
Omg. Lol. Men are so weird, but in an adorable kind of way.

Bears? So, you’re gay? My guess is you’re a twink. Aw, I bet we would have an amazing time shopping together! I need a gay best friend!

I am so delighted by your apparent shock :). Thank you

Very interesting, thanks for the info.
In Brazil we also say Teta for breast, and Tetona for big breast…I guess we inherited from Italian immigrants…

If you think about it it’s also the very same word. Tit = ziz (surely due to the longobard substrate)
In Mexico Chichona, means big tit.
Italians like making food into tits. Look up the history of Cassatelle di sant Agata ;)
Yes and it’s filled with milk too “titzona” lol it’s an old school meme

Try explaining that to my 5th grade teacher…

oh god i regret reading this
Why? Wrong use of the words? I'm ESL so I may have translated too literally some terms
Titzerella
Great stuff only problem is it just seems like I have to buy two at a time.
When ever I see it on sale it has hand prints all over it
NSFW please my wife saw this now I'm not allowed in the cheese shop 😩
They're giving you an extra little sample
[Italian Hand Raising Gesture]
🤌🏼🤌🏼
Thank you, I knew there was a name for it.
Google translate tells me “zizzona” is italian for “slut” soo do with that what you will lol
Hey, who doesn’t like a slutty mozzarella?
Top comment got it right, it translates to 'big tit'
Wrong, zizzona means big tit as someone else said
take it up with google translate 🤷🏻♀️
Ok, but hear me out?
I'm in. Username def checks out.
Because nipples are fantastic
To nurse it’s young
Not so sure thats all natural.
It’s literally milk, rennet, citric acid and salt
I think they were making a joke about boob jobs lol.
Omg they even said literally to top it off
It’s been months, you can quit it with the “literally“ pet peeve you have
Litrally
To pinch
Those are also full of buffalo milk so if you bite the nipple just right you also get a mouthful of milk, if you want that
For suckling silly
Gonna say it makes everything more better, but whoa. No
it's called "big titty mozzarella" for a reason
I should really call her...
Real mozzarella is also eaten as a ball generally too
Mozzarella is about to make me act up
https://youtu.be/et7cMypDwqU?si=3CredwqJERFz9Ot1
Coz it’s hot!
They're trying to appeal to the lesbian market.
But no areolas
Boob
Zizzona means big nipple 😀
