Mozzarella cheese is a soft, mild-flavored cheese originating from Italy, traditionally made from water buffalo milk but often crafted from cow’s milk in modern production. Known for its creamy texture and stretchability when melted, mozzarella is a key ingredient in Italian dishes like pizza, lasagna, and caprese salads. Nutritionally, it is a good source of protein and calcium, supporting muscle function and bone health. It contains vitamins like B12 and riboflavin, as well as phosphorus and zinc. Mozzarella is lower in fat and sodium compared to many other cheeses, making it a slightly healthier option within its category. However, as a dairy product, it can be high in saturated fat, so moderation is essential. Whether enjoyed fresh or melted, mozzarella’s versatility and nutritional contributions make it a favorite choice for meals and snacks around the globe.
