About Mozzerella balls
Mozzarella balls, often known as "bocconcini" or "ciliegine" depending on their size, are bite-sized portions of fresh mozzarella cheese. Originating from Italy, mozzarella is traditionally made from water buffalo milk, though cow’s milk is also commonly used. These delicate, smooth, white balls are a staple of Italian cuisine, often featured in dishes like Caprese salad or as a fresh topping for pizzas and pastas. Rich in calcium and protein, mozzarella balls support bone health and muscle repair. They are lower in fat compared to many aged cheeses, making them a somewhat lighter option. However, they do contain saturated fats and should be enjoyed in moderation. Mozzarella balls are also a good source of essential minerals like phosphorus and vitamins such as B12. Pair them with fresh vegetables and olive oil for a nutritious balance that highlights their mild, creamy flavor.
