Mozzarella Fresh is a soft, white cheese traditionally made from water buffalo milk, though cow’s milk versions are now common. Originating from Italy, it is a staple in Mediterranean cuisine and widely used in dishes like Caprese salad, pizza, and pasta. Known for its smooth texture and mild flavor, fresh mozzarella is minimally processed and typically packed in water or whey to maintain its moisture. It is a good source of protein, calcium, and phosphorus, which support bone health and muscle function. Compared to aged cheeses, mozzarella fresh is lower in fat and sodium, making it a lighter option. However, it still contains saturated fat, so moderation is key for those monitoring their cholesterol levels. Its versatile nature and nutritional benefits make it a popular choice, especially in balanced diets focused on whole, fresh ingredients.
