About Italian mozzarella cheese
Mozzarella cheese, a staple of Italian cuisine, is a fresh, soft cheese traditionally made from water buffalo milk, though cow's milk varieties are also common. It has a mild, creamy flavor and a tender, elastic texture, making it iconic in dishes like pizza, caprese salad, and lasagna. Nutritionally, mozzarella is a good source of protein, calcium, and phosphorus, which support muscle and bone health. It is also lower in sodium and fat compared to many aged cheeses, making it a relatively healthier choice in moderation. However, its high calorie content means portion control is key for a balanced diet. Rich in probiotics when fresh and minimally processed, mozzarella can support gut health. Whether melted, shredded, or served fresh, this versatile cheese is a delicious and nutritious addition to various meals.
