Smoked Mozzarella Cheese

Smoked mozzarella is a semi-soft, white cheese made from cow's milk. It is produced similarly to regular mozzarella but is then smoked over wood chips, which gives it a distinct smoky flavor and aroma.

Smoked mozzarella is used to add a rich, smoky flavor to a variety of dishes. It melts well, making it suitable for pizzas, pasta dishes, sandwiches, and appetizers. It is often found in frozen appetizers, prepared sides, and cheese products.

Smoked mozzarella is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a food ingredient. It is a source of protein and calcium. Like other dairy products, it contains saturated fat and sodium. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated cheese and dairy products, but specific evaluations for smoked mozzarella's health effects at typical consumption levels are not widely published.
