What it is
Low-moisture mozzarella cheese is a type of mozzarella that has had most of its whey removed. This process makes it firmer and less prone to melting than fresh mozzarella. It is made from cow's milk, often using pasteurization and bacterial cultures.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use low-moisture mozzarella for its excellent melting and browning properties, as well as its mild flavor. It is a key ingredient in pizzas, where it creates a desirable gooey texture and golden crust. It is also found in frozen dinners, pasta dishes, and cheese blends.
Health notes
Low-moisture mozzarella cheese is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a food ingredient. It is a source of protein, calcium, and other nutrients. Like other dairy products, it contains saturated fat and sodium, which should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated cheese and its components.
Allergen info
Low-moisture mozzarella cheese is derived from milk, which is one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
