Some higher-end stuff (such as Italian mozzarella) is now unavailable

Where do you shop at? It's available at any Перекросток as well as Утконос.

Yes, Galbani, very popular Italian brand (I'm an Italian expat in Moscow, I know my mozzarella trust me :) )

It is true. You can find Galbani mozzarella at any Перекросток.

Nope. Italian company but owned by a French group (http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galbani, no EN version sorry).
