Mozzarella cheese is a classic Italian dairy product recognized for its smooth, stretchy texture and mild, milky flavor. Made from cow's milk, it undergoes a traditional cheesemaking process where curds are formed, heated, and stretched to create its characteristic elasticity. Often used as a topping for pizzas due to its exceptional melting properties, mozzarella is also enjoyed in salads, sandwiches, and various dishes where its creamy consistency adds a delightful touch. Whether fresh (mozzarella di bufala) or low-moisture (used in shredded form), mozzarella cheese remains a versatile ingredient beloved for its ability to elevate both hot and cold culinary creations.
