Mozzarella cheese (shredded)

Description

Mozzarella cheese (shredded) has a delicate, milky, and slightly sweet flavor, along with a soft, elastic texture; in shredded form, it appears as white, thin strips that melt and stretch quickly when heated. It pairs perfectly with casseroles, pizzas, pastas, gratins, salads, and sandwiches, where it adds a creamy texture and mild aroma, and it also works well as an addition to both hot and cold dishes. Nutritionally, mozzarella provides high-quality protein, calcium, and phosphorus that support bones, as well as vitamins A and B12, and saturated fats and sodium, making it a valuable source of energy and muscle-building nutrients, but it should be consumed in moderation. It should be stored in the refrigerator in its original packaging or an airtight container at a temperature of 2–6°C and used before the expiration date; it can be frozen, but the texture may change upon thawing, and for shredded products, check the ingredients for anti-caking agents.
