About Bocconcini

Bocconcini are small, egg-sized balls of fresh mozzarella cheese originating from Italy, traditionally made from water buffalo's milk but now commonly crafted from cow's milk. With a delicate, milky flavor and smooth, soft texture, they are a staple in Italian cuisine, often used in salads, sandwiches, and pasta dishes. Bocconcini are rich in protein, calcium, and essential vitamins like B12, which support bone health and muscle function. However, they can also be high in saturated fat and sodium, so enjoy them in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Low in carbohydrates, they are suitable for low-carb and keto lifestyles. Emphasizing freshness, Bocconcini are typically packed in brine to maintain their moisture and flavor. Versatile and satisfying, this cheese offers a nutritious and delicious way to incorporate dairy into your meals.
