Mozzarella 1 article

Mozzarella is an Italian pasta-filata, or stretched-curd, cheese whose forms range from high-moisture fresh balls to low-moisture shreds for melting. Its practical roles include pizza, Caprese-style salads, baked dishes, sandwiches, and other preparations that use mild melting cheese. Grocery decisions around mozzarella are best grounded in moisture, sodium, saturated fat, serving size, and whether the product is fresh or low-moisture, plus the texture or preparation that determines how the product behaves in a meal.
