About Melted mozzarella
Melted mozzarella is a versatile cheese popular in Italian cuisine and cherished worldwide for its creamy texture and mild flavor. Made primarily from cow's milk, its ingredients usually include milk, cultures, enzymes, and salt. When heated, mozzarella transforms into a gooey, stretchy delight, enhancing dishes like pizza, lasagna, and grilled sandwiches. Nutritionally, it is a good source of protein and calcium, which support muscle growth and bone health. However, it is also high in saturated fats and sodium, which should be consumed in moderation to maintain heart health. Low-moisture versions of mozzarella melt better and are commonly used in cooking, while fresh varieties offer a softer texture and added hydration. Whether enjoyed in moderation as a topping or melted into recipes, mozzarella remains a staple ingredient combining creamy indulgence with nutritional benefits.
