What is "mozzarella"?
Mozzarella is a type of cheese known for its smooth, creamy texture and mild flavor. It is traditionally made from the milk of water buffaloes or cows. This soft cheese is famous for its stretchy consistency when melted, making it a popular choice for pizzas, lasagnas, and other Italian dishes. Mozzarella is often enjoyed fresh, either in the form of small balls or sliced. It pairs well with tomatoes, basil, and olive oil in a classic Caprese salad. Whether used in hot dishes or served cold, mozzarella adds a delightful richness to a wide range of culinary creations.
