Mozzarella, Shredded

Mozzarella, Shredded

Everyday

Shredded mozzarella is a semi-soft Italian cheese made from cow’s or buffalo’s milk, processed into fine strands for easy melting and even distribution in cooked dishes. This pre-shredded form often contains starch or cellulose to prevent clumping, resulting in a slightly drier texture than fresh mozzarella while retaining its signature mild, milky flavor. A staple for pizzas and casseroles, it provides substantial calcium and protein but may have higher sodium content compared to block varieties due to added preservatives.
