How stable is this supply base?
Three separate questions, answered in order: is the product fresh, is the market busy, and can the sellers be trusted.
Is there much new product?
Mozzarella had 2 new listings in the last 30 days, fewer than the 3 from the previous month. The catalog is not growing quickly, so the offers available today are mostly from the same set as last month. Check the listing date when comparing offers to see which one is closer to today’s market conditions.
Is the market busy?
9 of the 32 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, a mix of long-standing and new sellers. The pool includes both established names with a history of consistent listings and newer ones who are still building their presence. That gives buyers a range of options, but the newer suppliers have less track record to evaluate. Review each supplier’s listing history before reaching out to a new one.

Can these suppliers be trusted?
28 of 32 suppliers are verified, at least three in four, so buyers can contact several verified suppliers at once. A majority of suppliers list a certificate, 16 of 32, and FDA_REGISTRATION is the top one, held by 2 of them. For a shipment requiring FDA compliance, filtering for FDA_REGISTRATION helps narrow the list to suppliers who meet that standard. For other requirements, ask each shortlisted supplier for the certificate up front.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Mozzarella listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 28 October 2026 - 96 active listings, 10 buyer requests, 221 source documents, and 1,484 supply observations from the same period. External export benchmarks are cited separately and never mixed into Freshdi figures.
Price and MOQ ranges are the interquartile range - the middle half of quotes, a quarter below and a quarter above - with the median reported alongside. A Mozzarella type is priced only once it holds at least 5% of supply price quotes and 3 priced listings with a real range; below that it is not listed. Buyer prices are compared only once there are at least 5 of them.
All prices are FOB, in USD per metric ton; quotes on other Incoterms are converted to a FOB equivalent. Freshdi does not hold a CIF price series for Mozzarella, so no landed-cost comparison is possible from this data.
Product freshness counts listings created or updated. Supplier activity counts sellers by their last update. The two are different measurements and will not agree.
