Mozzarella cheese is a fresh, soft cheese originating from Italy, traditionally made from buffalo milk but commonly crafted from cow’s milk today. Known for its mild, creamy flavor and stretchy texture, it plays a key role in Italian cuisine, particularly in dishes like pizza, lasagna, and caprese salads. Nutritionally, mozzarella is a good source of protein, calcium, and phosphorus, essential for strong bones and muscle health. It contains lower fat and sodium levels than many aged cheeses, making it a relatively healthier option. However, like most cheeses, it should be consumed in moderation due to its saturated fat content. Additionally, its fresh variety contains probiotics that support gut health. Whether enjoyed melted or as a cold, fresh ingredient, mozzarella’s versatility and nutritional benefits make it a popular choice around the world.
