Fresh Mozzarella is a soft, white cheese originating from Italy, celebrated for its mild, creamy flavor and smooth, elastic texture. Traditionally made from water buffalo milk, it is now commonly produced using cow’s milk. This cheese is a staple in Italian cuisine, often featured in caprese salads, pasta dishes, and as a topping for pizza. Nutritionally, fresh mozzarella is a good source of calcium, protein, and phosphorus, which support bone health and muscle function. It is relatively low in sodium compared to aged cheeses, making it a heart-healthier choice for those watching their salt intake. However, as a full-fat cheese, it contains saturated fats and calories that should be consumed in moderation within a balanced diet. Its simplicity and versatility make it a delightful addition to meals, offering both flavor and nutritional benefits.
