Mozerella Cheese

About Mozzarella Cheese

Mozzarella is a fresh, soft cheese traditionally made from Italian buffalo milk, though cow’s milk varieties are widespread globally. Known for its elastic, smooth texture and mild, slightly tangy taste, Mozzarella is a versatile cheese beloved in many culinary cultures.

Common Varieties and Grades

• Fresh Mozzarella: Sold in balls or logs, typically packed in water or whey to preserve freshness and moisture.
• Low-Moisture Mozzarella: Firmer texture, longer shelf-life, widely used in pizzas and processed foods.
• Buffalo Mozzarella (Mozzarella di Bufala): Made from water buffalo milk, creamier and more flavorful, often PDO certified.

Production Process

Mozzarella is part of the pasta filata family, meaning its curds are stretched and kneaded in hot water to develop its distinctive texture. After curdling and draining, the cheese is stretched, shaped, and then cooled in cold water to retain moisture.

Nutritional Profile

Mozzarella cheese is a good source of high-quality protein, calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin B12, making it a nutritious addition to many diets. It contains moderate fat and sodium levels, with fresh varieties being lower in fat than aged cheeses.
