What it is

Smoked mozzarella is a semi-firm cheese made from cow's milk, similar to regular mozzarella but with a distinct smoky flavor. It is produced by smoking the cheese over wood chips, which imparts a rich, savory taste and aroma. The smoking process also helps to preserve the cheese.

Why it's used

Smoked mozzarella is often used to add a deep, smoky flavor and creamy texture to a variety of dishes. It melts well, making it a popular choice for pizzas, pasta dishes, sandwiches, and grilled cheese. It can also be used in salads or as a standalone appetizer.

Health notes

Smoked mozzarella is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a food ingredient. As a dairy product, it is a source of protein and calcium. Like other full-fat cheeses, it contains saturated fat and cholesterol. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various dairy products, but specific evaluations for 'smoked mozzarella' as a distinct ingredient category are not typically detailed. Consumption of high-fat dairy products should be considered within the context of a balanced diet.

Allergen info

Smoked mozzarella is derived from milk and is therefore a major allergen. It does not contain gluten.
