About Half cup mozzarella cheese
Half a cup of mozzarella cheese typically contains around 170 calories, 13 grams of fat, 12 grams of protein, and small amounts of carbs. This fresh, soft cheese originates from Italy, widely known for its use in dishes like pizza, pasta, and salads. Made from cow’s or buffalo’s milk, mozzarella is a good source of calcium, promoting healthy bones and teeth, and protein, essential for muscle repair and growth. It also provides vitamin B12, which supports red blood cell production and nervous system health. While mozzarella is lower in fat and sodium compared to many other cheeses, it is still a relatively high-fat food, so moderation is key. Its creamy texture and mild flavor make it a versatile ingredient in both Mediterranean and global cuisine. Pair it with fresh veggies or whole grains for a balanced, nutritious meal.
