About Mozzarella balls

Mozzarella balls, also known as bocconcini, are bite-sized portions of fresh mozzarella cheese. Originating from Italian cuisine, these tender, creamy pearls are made from cow's milk or water buffalo milk and showcase a mild, milky flavor. Packed with protein and calcium, they support bone health and muscle development. Mozzarella balls are low in carbohydrates, making them ideal for low-carb diets, while their moderate fat content contributes to energy levels. However, they do contain saturated fat and sodium, so portions should be managed for heart health and balanced nutrition. Loved in salads, appetizers, or paired with fresh tomatoes, basil, and balsamic glaze, mozzarella balls embody the freshness and simplicity of Mediterranean eating. Their creamy texture and versatility make them a wholesome, delicious addition to meals, but mindful consumption will help balance their nutritional benefits with their higher fat and sodium content.
