Shredded mozzarella cheese is a versatile dairy product originating from Italy, widely popular in Italian cuisine for dishes like pizza, lasagna, and pasta. Made from cow’s milk, it contains essential nutrients such as calcium, protein, and vitamin B12, which support bone health and energy production. Typically sold in pre-shredded form for convenience, it often includes small amounts of anti-caking agents to prevent clumping. While mozzarella is lower in fat and calories compared to many other cheeses, pre-shredded varieties can be higher in sodium due to added preservatives. Its rich, creamy texture and mild flavor make it a favorite for melting and adding zest to meals. Moderation is key to enjoying the health benefits while managing the saturated fats and sodium levels typically associated with cheese consumption.
