Fresh mozzarella is a soft, creamy cheese originating from Italy, traditionally made from buffalo milk but now widely produced using cow's milk. Its smooth texture and mild flavor make it a staple in Italian cuisine, featured prominently in dishes like Caprese salad, pizzas, and pasta. Nutritionally, fresh mozzarella is a good source of protein and calcium, which support muscle health and bone strength. It also contains essential vitamins like B12 and riboflavin. However, it is moderate to high in saturated fat and sodium, so portion control is recommended for balanced eating. Unlike aged cheeses, fresh mozzarella is lower in calories and easier to digest due to its short fermentation process. With its simplicity and versatility, this cheese can be enjoyed in a variety of dishes while complementing a healthy diet when consumed mindfully.
