About Mozerrella cheese
Mozzarella cheese, originating from Italy, is a soft, creamy cheese traditionally made from water buffalo milk, though cow's milk versions are common today. A staple in Italian cuisine, it’s widely used on pizzas, pastas, and caprese salads. Mozzarella is celebrated for its mild flavor and smooth texture, making it versatile across dishes. Nutritionally, it’s a good source of protein, calcium, and phosphorus, which support bone health and muscle function. It’s also relatively low in fat compared to many other cheeses, especially part-skim versions. However, mozzarella can be high in sodium, depending on how it’s processed, and is calorie-dense, so portion control is important for balanced eating. Its wholesome, simple ingredients make it a minimally processed option for those seeking a healthier cheese choice. Ideal for Mediterranean-style diets, mozzarella adds flavor and nutrition in moderation while complementing fresh fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins.
