Mozzarella is a soft, creamy cheese originally from Italy, celebrated for its mild flavor and smooth texture. Traditionally made from buffalo milk, it is now commonly produced using cow’s milk. A key ingredient in Italian cuisine, mozzarella features prominently in dishes like pizza, caprese salads, and pasta. Nutritionally, it is a good source of protein and calcium, supporting muscle health and strong bones. Rich in essential vitamins such as B12, riboflavin, and phosphorus, it offers several health benefits. However, mozzarella is also moderate to high in saturated fat and sodium, which should be considered when consumed in larger quantities or as part of a balanced diet. Low-fat versions are available for health-conscious eaters. Its fresh variety, like mozzarella di bufala, pairs well with tomatoes and basil for lighter options, making it a versatile favorite in kitchens worldwide.
