Mozzarella is a soft, white cheese of Italian origin, celebrated for its mild, milky flavor and smooth, stretchy texture. Traditionally made from water buffalo milk, most modern varieties use cow’s milk. It is a staple in Italian cuisine, commonly featured in dishes like pizza, caprese salad, and lasagna. Nutritious and versatile, mozzarella is relatively low in calories compared to other cheeses, while providing protein, calcium, and phosphorus, which support bone health and muscle function. Part-skim versions are lower in fat, making them a heart-healthier option. However, its sodium content can be high, so moderation is key for those monitoring salt intake. Fresh mozzarella, found in brine or vacuum-sealed bags, offers the purest flavor and fewer preservatives. Whether melted, sliced, or served fresh, mozzarella is a beloved ingredient that pairs well with a variety of foods for flavorful, nutrient-rich meals.
