About Muzzarella
Muzzarella, commonly known as mozzarella, is a traditional Italian cheese celebrated for its creamy texture and mild flavor. Made primarily from cow’s milk or buffalo milk, it offers a rich source of protein, calcium, and essential vitamins like Vitamin B12. Mozzarella's soft, stretchy consistency makes it a staple in Italian cuisine, famously used in dishes like pizza, caprese salads, and lasagna. Due to its lower sodium content compared to other cheeses, it can be a healthier option for those monitoring salt intake. Additionally, its high calcium content supports bone health. However, mozzarella can also be calorie-dense and contains saturated fat, so portion control is recommended for those watching their fat intake. Fresh varieties, like mozzarella di bufala, are particularly prized for their lighter, more delicate taste, making this cheese a versatile and nutritious choice in moderation.
