What it is

Low moisture mozzarella is a type of mozzarella cheese with less water content than fresh mozzarella. It is made from cow's milk using a process that removes more whey, resulting in a firmer, drier cheese. This makes it ideal for shredding and melting.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use low moisture mozzarella for its excellent melting and browning properties, and its mild, milky flavor. It is a staple in many baked goods, especially pizzas, where it provides a desirable stretchy texture and golden crust. It is also found in pasta dishes, sandwiches, and cheese blends.

Health notes

Low moisture mozzarella is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. As a dairy product, it is a source of calcium and protein. The WHO/IARC has not classified cheese. JECFA has evaluated cheese and cheese products. Typical consumption as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Low moisture mozzarella is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
