Baby mozzarella cheese, or bocconcini, is a fresh, soft cheese originating from Italian cuisine, made traditionally from cow’s or buffalo’s milk. These tender, bite-sized balls are notable for their creamy texture and mild, milky flavor, making them a versatile addition to salads, pizzas, pastas, or enjoyed on their own. Nutritionally, baby mozzarella is a good source of protein and calcium, supporting muscle health and bone strength. It’s relatively low in fat compared to aged cheeses, but still contains saturated fats, which should be consumed in moderation for heart health. With minimal carbs and rich in essential nutrients like phosphorus and vitamin B12, it’s suitable for keto and low-carb diets. However, sodium content can add up, so balance is key. Its fresh and unprocessed nature makes it a wholesome choice within moderation as part of a balanced diet.
