About Muzzarela cheese

Muzzarela cheese, commonly known as Mozzarella, is a semi-soft cheese originating from Italy, traditionally crafted using water buffalo milk though cow’s milk is now more widely used. Known for its mild flavor and stretchy texture, it’s a staple in Italian cuisine, featured prominently in dishes like pizza, Caprese salad, and pasta. Muzzarela is rich in protein and calcium, supporting muscle health and bone strength, but it is also relatively high in saturated fat and sodium, which should be moderated in a balanced diet. Low-moisture versions are often used for cooking due to their excellent melting properties, while fresh Muzzarela is prized for its creamy delicacy. Versatile and delicious, it complements a variety of meals, offering nourishment and indulgence in moderation.
