Mozzarella is a soft, white cheese originating from Italy, traditionally made with buffalo milk but now commonly produced from cow’s milk. Renowned for its mild, creamy flavor and stretchy texture when melted, it is a staple in Italian cuisine, particularly in dishes like pizzas, pastas, and Caprese salads. Mozzarella is a good source of protein, calcium, and phosphorus, which contribute to bone health and muscle function. It is relatively low in calories compared to many other cheeses, making it a popular choice in health-conscious diets. However, it can be high in saturated fat and sodium, so moderation is key. Fresh mozzarella, often sold in water, has a higher moisture content and typically fewer preservatives than its low-moisture counterpart found in shredded form. Its versatility and balanced nutritional profile make mozzarella a favorite ingredient worldwide.
