What it is

Part skim mozzarella cheese is a semi-soft, white cheese made from cow's milk. It is produced by removing some of the milk fat (skim) before the cheese-making process begins. This results in a lower fat content compared to whole milk mozzarella.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use part skim mozzarella for its mild flavor and excellent melting properties. It is a key ingredient in many dough-based products, especially pizza, where it provides a desirable stretch and browning. It's also found in frozen appetizers and meals.
