About Shredded mozzarella

Shredded mozzarella is a versatile cheese known for its mild, creamy flavor and stretchy texture, making it a staple in Italian cuisine. Commonly sprinkled over pizzas, pastas, and casseroles, it melts beautifully, adding richness to a variety of dishes. Made from cow's milk, shredded mozzarella is a good source of protein and calcium, which support muscle health and strong bones. It also contains essential nutrients like phosphorus and vitamin B12. While its lower fat and sodium content compared to many other cheeses make it a healthier option, moderation is key due to its saturated fat levels, which can impact heart health if consumed excessively. Look for low-moisture varieties for an extended shelf life and avoid pre-shredded options with added starches or anti-caking agents if you prefer fresher, purer cheese. Shredded mozzarella offers both flavor and functionality, making it a beloved addition to countless recipes.
