About Ciliegine mozzarella
Ciliegine mozzarella, originating from Italy, is a fresh, soft cheese made from cow's milk. Its name, meaning “little cherries” in Italian, refers to its bite-sized, spherical shape. Known for its creamy texture and subtle flavor, ciliegine is a staple in Italian cuisine, often used in caprese salads, pasta dishes, or as a topping for pizza. It is rich in protein and calcium, supporting muscle health and bone strength, while being lower in sodium compared to aged cheeses. However, as a full-fat dairy product, it is moderately high in saturated fat and calories, so portion control is key for balanced nutrition. Ciliegine mozzarella pairs well with fresh vegetables, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar for a nutrient-rich and flavorful meal option. Popular for its versatility and fresh taste, it is a nutritious addition to a Mediterranean-style diet when consumed mindfully.
