What it is
Low-moisture mozzarella is a type of cow's milk cheese that has had most of its water removed. This process makes it firmer and easier to slice and shred than fresh mozzarella. It is produced by heating milk, adding cultures and rennet to coagulate it, then draining the whey and pressing the curd.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use low-moisture mozzarella for its excellent melting and browning properties, as well as its mild, creamy flavor. It is a key ingredient in many baked goods, especially pizzas, where it provides a desirable stretchy texture and golden-brown topping.
Health notes
Low-moisture mozzarella is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of protein and calcium. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated cheese and dairy products. Typical consumption as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Low-moisture mozzarella is derived from milk, which is one of the FDA's 9 major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
