Low Moisture Part Skim Organic Mozzarella Cheese

Low moisture part skim organic mozzarella cheese is a semi-soft cheese made from cow's milk. 'Low moisture' means much of the water has been removed, giving it a firmer texture and longer shelf life than fresh mozzarella. 'Part skim' indicates it's made from milk with some of the fat removed, resulting in a lower fat content. 'Organic' means the milk comes from cows raised according to organic farming standards, without synthetic hormones or antibiotics, and fed organic feed.

This type of mozzarella is commonly used for its mild flavor and excellent melting properties. It is a popular ingredient in pizzas, lasagna, baked pasta dishes, and sandwiches. It is also found in shredded or string cheese forms for snacking.

As a food product, mozzarella cheese is regulated by the FDA. It is a source of protein and calcium. Due to its dairy origin, it contains saturated fat; the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) recommend keeping saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. Some individuals may experience digestive issues due to lactose intolerance. Neither JECFA nor EFSA evaluates whole food ingredients like cheese in the same way they do food additives.
