Mussarela, or mozzarella, is a soft, stretchy cheese originating from Italy and widely featured in Mediterranean cuisine. Traditionally made from buffalo milk, modern versions often use cow's milk, resulting in its mild, creamy flavor and smooth texture. Rich in calcium and protein, mussarela supports bone health and muscle repair. Additionally, it provides essential nutrients like phosphorus and B vitamins. However, due to its saturated fat content, moderation is recommended to maintain heart health. Mussarela is notably lower in sodium compared to many other cheeses, making it a favorable option for those monitoring salt intake. Its versatility shines in dishes like salads, pizzas, and pastas, offering a delightful balance of taste and nutrition. Opt for fresh or low-fat versions to maximize health benefits while savoring its iconic taste.
