About Mozzarella cheese
Mozzarella cheese, a staple of Italian cuisine, is a versatile and mild-flavored cheese known for its soft, stretchy texture. Traditionally made from water buffalo milk in Italy, many versions today use cow's milk. Mozzarella is naturally lower in fat and calories compared to many other cheeses, making it a popular choice for those mindful of their diet. A good source of protein and calcium, it contributes to bone health while aiding in muscle repair. However, it’s important to enjoy it in moderation due to its sodium content, which can impact blood pressure when consumed excessively. Fresh mozzarella offers a higher moisture content and less sodium compared to pre-packaged options, making it a healthier choice. This cheese serves as a perfect addition to salads, pizzas, pastas, and sandwiches, celebrating its origins while blending effortlessly into cuisines worldwide.
