About Lite mozzarella cheese
Lite Mozzarella Cheese is a lower-fat version of traditional mozzarella, crafted to offer the same creamy taste and mild, milky flavor with reduced calories and saturated fat. Originating from Italian cuisine, mozzarella's soft texture and versatility have made it a staple in dishes like caprese salad, pizzas, and pasta bakes. Made primarily from skimmed cow's milk, lite mozzarella retains its high protein content while cutting down on fat, making it a favorable option for health-conscious individuals. It is also a good source of calcium, which is essential for bone health, and contains less cholesterol compared to regular mozzarella. However, it may have slightly higher sodium content, so moderation is key. Whether melted atop a dish or enjoyed fresh, lite mozzarella cheese is a wholesome way to incorporate dairy into meals without compromising on flavor or nutritional goals.
