Prosciutto Wrapped Mozzarella is a savory appetizer originating from Italian cuisine, combining the delicate creaminess of fresh mozzarella with the rich, salty flavor of thinly sliced prosciutto. This dish highlights the simplicity and elegance of traditional Italian ingredients. Each piece typically consists of a ball or slice of mozzarella encased by a layer of prosciutto and may be served as-is or lightly baked for added texture and flavor. While the mozzarella provides a good source of protein and calcium, which are beneficial for bone health, it is also high in saturated fat and sodium. The prosciutto is a concentrated source of protein but contains significant sodium due to the curing process. This combination makes Prosciutto Wrapped Mozzarella best enjoyed in moderation. It’s a quick, flavorful option for those seeking a protein-packed snack or a crowd-pleasing addition to appetizers during gatherings.
