Mozzarella
Italian cheese company
Mozzarella is a mild, white Italian cheese with a soft, elastic texture.
Traditional mozzarella is made from water buffalo milk, though most commercial versions use cow's milk.
It's the classic pizza cheese, prized for how it melts and stretches.
Fresh mozzarella comes packed in liquid and has a delicate, milky flavor: caprese salad with fresh mozzarella and tomatoes.
