Medium Fat Mozzarella Cheese

Medium fat mozzarella is a semi-soft, white, unripened cheese originating from Southern Italy. It is traditionally made from buffalo milk, but most commercially produced mozzarella in the UK is made from cow's milk. The cheese is made by heating milk, adding rennet to coagulate it, and then stretching and shaping the curd.

Mozzarella's mild flavour and excellent melting properties make it a popular choice for manufacturers. It is widely used in baked goods, particularly pizzas, where it provides a desirable gooey texture and browning. It also features in pasta dishes, salads, and as a filling for savoury pastries.

Medium fat mozzarella is a dairy product and not a food additive. It is a source of protein and calcium. Like other full-fat dairy products, it contains saturated fat. The UK's Eatwell Guide suggests that dairy or dairy alternatives should be included in a balanced diet.
