What it is

Low moisture mozzarella is a type of cheese made from cow's milk. It is produced by heating milk, adding a starter culture and rennet to coagulate the milk, and then draining the whey. The curd is then heated and stretched, and finally pressed into blocks or shredded.

Why it's used

Low moisture mozzarella is prized for its excellent melting and browning qualities, making it ideal for baked goods. It is commonly used in pizzas, savory pastries, and other dishes where a chewy, stretchy, and golden-brown cheese topping is desired.
