What it is
Organic mozzarella cheese is a semi-soft, white cheese made from cow's milk, often from cows raised according to organic farming standards. It is produced by heating milk, adding rennet to coagulate it, and then stretching and shaping the curd. The 'organic' designation means the milk comes from cows not treated with antibiotics or growth hormones and not fed genetically modified crops.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use organic mozzarella for its mild, milky flavor and excellent melting properties. It is a popular topping for pizzas, a key ingredient in pasta dishes like lasagna, and a common filling in calzones and other baked goods. Its smooth texture and ability to brown make it ideal for many Italian-American dishes.
Health notes
Organic mozzarella cheese is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of protein, calcium, and other nutrients. Like all dairy products, it contains saturated fat and cholesterol. The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified processed meat as carcinogenic and red meat as probably carcinogenic, but has not made a similar classification for cheese. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated cheese as part of broader evaluations of dairy products.
Allergen info
Organic mozzarella cheese is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
