Mozzarella is a soft, stretchy, white cheese that is characterized by its freshness and softness. It is known for its high elasticity. Originally from Italy, it is traditionally made from buffalo milk, although cow’s milk is also used today. Mozzarella is a soft cheese with a mild, slightly sweet flavor.

One of the most distinctive features of mozzarella is its elasticity when melted, making it a popular choice for pizza, lasagna, and other hot dishes. Fresh mozzarella is usually stored in brine or whey to maintain its moisture and freshness. It is also sold in small or large balls (ball mozzarella), or in grated form (pizza cheese), or in pencils.

Mozzarella is a healthy cheese, with a low salt content and less fat than some other cheeses. It is a good source of protein, calcium, and various vitamins, and can be used as a tasty and nutritious addition to a variety of dishes.
