Shredded Mozzarella

Shredded Mozzarella is a mild, stretchy Italian-style cheese that is commonly used on pizza, in pasta bakes, casseroles, and salads. Its shredded form makes it especially convenient for quick melting and even topping coverage. It is a good source of protein, with 22g per 100g, and also provides calcium and vitamin B12, which are important for bone and nerve health. Like most cheeses, it is fairly energy-dense and contains a significant amount of saturated fat. Overall, Shredded Mozzarella can fit well in a balanced diet, especially when used to add flavor and texture in moderate amounts.
