Mozzarella balls, often called "bocconcini," are bite-sized portions of fresh mozzarella cheese, originating from Italian cuisine. Made from cow's milk or buffalo milk, they are mild in flavor with a soft, smooth texture. Rich in calcium and protein, mozzarella balls contribute to bone health and muscle repair. They are relatively low in sodium compared to other cheeses, making them a heart-friendly option when consumed moderately. However, they are high in saturated fats, which may impact cholesterol levels if not balanced within a healthy diet. Mozzarella balls are versatile and commonly used in salads, appetizers, or pasta dishes, pairing well with fresh tomatoes, olive oil, and basil for a classic caprese-style dish. While enjoying their creamy taste, be mindful of portion sizes to maintain a balanced nutritional intake.
