About Mozzerela
Mozzarella, a soft, white cheese originating from Italy, is a staple in Mediterranean cuisine and widely associated with dishes like pizza, caprese salad, and lasagna. Traditionally made from water buffalo milk, most modern varieties use cow's milk. Mozzarella is rich in protein, calcium, and phosphorus, nutrients essential for bone and muscle health. It also provides a moderate amount of vitamin B12, important for energy production and neurological function. Its relatively low sodium and fat content, compared to many other cheeses, makes it a healthier choice for cheese lovers. However, like all dairy products, it's calorie-dense and contains saturated fats, so portion control is key for those monitoring their intake. Available in fresh, shredded, or smoked varieties, mozzarella’s mild flavor and versatility make it a popular choice in both traditional and contemporary recipes.
