What it is

Mozzarella is a soft, white cheese traditionally made from Italian buffalo milk, though cow's milk is more common today. It is produced by the pasta filata method, where the cheese curd is heated and stretched before being shaped. This process gives mozzarella its characteristic elastic texture.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use mozzarella for its mild flavor and excellent melting properties, making it ideal for baked goods and dishes. It is a staple ingredient in pizzas, lasagna, and various Italian-American cuisine.
