Mozzarella is a soft, white cheese originating from Italy, traditionally made from buffalo milk but often produced using cow's milk. Renowned for its mild, milky flavor and stretchy texture, it plays a central role in Italian cuisine, appearing in dishes like pizza, caprese salad, and pasta. Nutritionally, mozzarella is a rich source of protein, calcium, and phosphorus, essential for maintaining strong bones and muscles. It also contains vitamins B12 and D, which support energy and immune function. However, it is moderately high in saturated fat and sodium, so portion control is advised for those monitoring heart health or sodium intake. Thanks to its relatively low calorie content compared to other cheeses, mozzarella can fit into balanced diets when consumed in moderation, adding flavor and nutrients to meals without excessive caloric impact.
