About Mozarella
Mozzarella is a soft, fresh cheese originally from Italy, widely recognized as a staple in Italian cuisine. Traditionally made from the milk of water buffalo, cow’s milk variants are now more common. It's valued for its mild flavor, creamy texture, and elasticity, making it a key ingredient in pizzas, pasta, salads, and caprese dishes. Nutritionally, mozzarella is a good source of protein, calcium, and phosphorus, which contribute to muscle health and strong bones. It also contains lower amounts of saturated fat and sodium compared to many other cheeses, making it a lighter choice for those monitoring heart health. However, portions should still be moderated as excessive intake can contribute to calorie and fat imbalances. Its versatility and nutritional benefits make mozzarella an excellent addition to a balanced diet when consumed mindfully.
