About Mozarella balls

Mozzarella balls, also known as bocconcini, are bite-sized pieces of fresh mozzarella cheese originally from Italy. Made from cow's milk or buffalo milk, these creamy, soft, and mild-tasting cheese balls are a staple in Italian cuisine, often featured in salads, appetizers, and pasta dishes. Packed with protein and calcium, they contribute to muscle health and bone strength. However, being a dairy product, they also contain saturated fat and sodium, which should be consumed in moderation. Mozzarella balls are low in calories compared to aged cheeses, making them a lighter option for many dishes. They are also gluten-free, making them suitable for individuals with gluten sensitivities. Typically served fresh, their delicate texture and mild flavor pair well with tomatoes, basil, and olive oil for a classic Caprese salad, delivering a nutritious and delicious experience that celebrates wholesome Mediterranean flavors.
