About Fresh mozzarella cheese

Fresh mozzarella cheese, a staple of Italian cuisine, is crafted from cow's or water buffalo's milk, offering a creamy, smooth texture and delicate flavor. Traditionally made through a process of curdling, heating, and stretching, this cheese is known for its soft consistency and moisture content, often stored in brine or whey to retain freshness. Rich in protein and calcium, fresh mozzarella supports bone and muscle health, while offering moderate amounts of essential vitamins like B12 and riboflavin. Its relatively lower sodium and fat content compared to aged cheeses make it a more heart-friendly option, though moderation is advised due to its saturated fat levels. Commonly enjoyed in dishes like Caprese salad, pizza, and pasta, fresh mozzarella adds a wholesome depth to meals while reflecting its Italian origins.
