Fresh mozzarella is a soft, semi-elastic cheese traditionally made from cow's milk or water buffalo's milk. Originating in Italy, it is a hallmark of Mediterranean cuisine and is renowned for its mild, creamy flavor and moist texture. Rich in calcium, protein, and essential fatty acids, fresh mozzarella supports bone health and muscle maintenance. It is also relatively low in calories compared to many aged cheeses, making it a versatile option for balanced meals. However, it is high in sodium, so moderation is key for heart health. Fresh mozzarella is free from artificial preservatives and pairs wonderfully with nutrient-rich foods like tomatoes, basil, and olive oil in dishes such as caprese salad. Its simplicity and wholesomeness make it a staple ingredient for healthy, flavorful meals enjoyed worldwide.
