About Cheese, mozzarella, whole milk

Mozzarella is the soft, mild, milky cheese that melts into glorious strings — the cheese on a pizza, in a caprese salad, and inside a toasted sandwich. Traditionally made from buffalo or cow's milk, fresh mozzarella is delicate and moist, while the low-moisture kind is firmer and made for melting.

It's a good source of calcium and high-quality protein, and as cheeses go it's relatively moderate in fat and sodium — particularly the whole-milk fresh version, which is less salty than aged hard cheeses. That makes it one of the gentler cheeses nutritionally.

Mild enough to suit almost anything and a dream when melted, mozzarella is the everyday cheese that's hard not to like — generous on calcium and protein, lighter on salt than most.
