Published on October 20, 2019, mozzarella cheese has become a staple in many cuisines around the world. This Italian cheese, originating from Southern Italy, is known for its soft, white, and milky flavor.
Traditionally made from buffalo milk, most mozzarella cheese available today is produced from cow's milk due to the limited availability of buffalo milk. Despite this, mozzarella cheese remains a popular choice for its unique texture and taste.
One of the key benefits of mozzarella cheese is its low calorie and high protein content. An ounce of mozzarella cheese contains 18% of the daily recommended calcium intake, making it an excellent addition to a healthy diet. Additionally, mozzarella cheese is a good source of phosphorus, a mineral that helps the body utilize calcium.
Some popular snack options that feature mozzarella cheese include tomato and cucumber slices, garlic cheese bombs, mozzarella courgette bites, and pizza snacks. Mozzarella cheese is widely available in most major supermarkets, with prices ranging from Sh300 for 200 grams in some butcheries and green grocers.
