Fresh Mozzarella Cheese

About Fresh Mozzarella Cheese

Fresh Mozzarella is a soft cheese originating from the Campania region of Italy. Made from either cow's or water buffalo's milk, it can be crafted using pasteurized or unpasteurized milk. The cheese has a smooth, delicate texture and is often stored in brine to maintain its freshness. Its flavor is mild, with a milky and slightly acidic taste that pairs well with a variety of dishes. The aroma is light and fresh, reflecting its creamy nature. Fresh Mozzarella is typically white and does not have a rind. Known also as Mozzarella fresco, this cheese is a staple in Italian cuisine, commonly used in salads, pizzas, and pastas.
