Light mozzarella is a reduced-fat version of the traditional Italian cheese, known for its mild flavor and creamy texture. Typically made from cow’s milk, this cheese is crafted through a process that lowers its fat content while maintaining its signature soft consistency. Originating from Italy, mozzarella is a staple in Mediterranean cuisine, often featured in dishes like caprese salad, pasta, and pizza. The light variety offers a healthier alternative, containing fewer calories and less saturated fat compared to regular mozzarella, making it a popular choice for those seeking to reduce their fat intake. It is also a good source of protein and calcium, important for muscle and bone health. However, like most cheeses, light mozzarella can be high in sodium, so portion control is recommended. With its versatile flavor profile, it’s an ideal addition to a balanced diet when enjoyed in moderation.
