Mozzarella cheese is a soft, white cheese with origins in Italy, traditionally made from the milk of water buffalo, though cow’s milk is widely used today. Its mild flavor and smooth texture make it a staple in Italian cuisine, famously featured in dishes like pizza, lasagna, and Caprese salad. Mozzarella is rich in protein and calcium, supporting bone health and muscle development. It contains essential vitamins such as B2 and B12 and offers fewer calories and fat compared to many other cheeses, especially the low-fat varieties. However, it is still a significant source of saturated fat and sodium, which may need moderation in heart-healthy diets. Fresh mozzarella has higher moisture content and is often regarded as the healthiest form. Perfect for melting or eating fresh, it remains a versatile and nutritious addition to meals when consumed mindfully.
