Mozzarella cheese is a soft, mild-flavored cheese originating from Italy, traditionally made from water buffalo milk but often crafted from cow’s milk in modern production. Known for its creamy texture and stretchiness, it’s a signature ingredient in Italian cuisine, particularly on pizzas, pastas, and salads like Caprese. Mozzarella is a good source of protein and calcium, nutrients essential for muscle growth and bone health. It is relatively low in fat compared to many other cheeses, especially when made in reduced-fat varieties. However, it contains saturated fat and sodium, which should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Its simplicity and versatility make it a popular choice for adding flavor and nourishment to a variety of dishes.
