Mozzarella made from whole milk is a soft, white cheese originating from Italy, traditionally crafted from buffalo milk but now commonly made with cow's milk. Its delicate, milky flavor and slightly elastic texture make it a staple in Italian cuisine, especially on pizzas, in caprese salads, and for melting into warm dishes. This cheese is rich in calcium and protein, essential for bone and muscle health, while also providing vitamins like B12. However, as a whole milk cheese, it contains higher levels of saturated fat and calories compared to part-skim varieties, making moderation key. Mozzarella's lower sodium content compared to many other cheeses can be a benefit for those watching salt intake. Its versatility and creamy taste make it a favorite for cooking and snacking alike.
