Fresh mozzarella slices are a creamy and soft cheese made from cow’s milk or buffalo milk, originating from Italy, particularly the Campania region. This beloved staple of Italian cuisine boasts a mild, milky flavor and smooth texture, ideal for salads, sandwiches, and traditional dishes like Caprese salad and pizza Margherita. Rich in protein and calcium, fresh mozzarella supports muscle growth and bone health. It's relatively low in sodium and has fewer additives compared to aged cheeses, making it a wholesome choice when consumed in moderation. However, it is high in saturated fats and calories, which can impact heart health and weight management if overeaten. Opt for fresh mozzarella paired with nutrient-rich vegetables and whole grains for a balanced meal. Its unprocessed nature and simplicity make it a favorite versatile cheese for health-conscious food lovers worldwide.
