Mozzarella Cheese – The essential cheese for pizza

Mozzarella cheese originated in the Naples region in southern Italy, but the name Mozzarella is not the name of any place in Italy. Mozzarella or “Mozzare” means “to cut”. After milk is mixed with enzymes, it separates into curds (solid) and whey (liquid). When making Mozzarella, the curds are cut and stretched in hot water, which is why it is called Mozzarella – “cut” cheese; and this heating and stretching process changes its texture, making it pleasantly elastic and chewy.
Mozzarella is the indispensable cheese for pizza; after baking, mozzarella melts and forms stretchy, stringy cheese strands. Mozzarella can also be mixed with tomatoes and greens to make salads.
Unlike other mozzarella cheeses, Organic Valley Mozzarella has a distinctive flavor profile, made from 100% organic pasteurized reduced-fat milk from cows that are naturally pasture-raised on fields free from antibiotics, harmful pesticides, and genetically modified feeds in the Organic Valley farms. Thanks to this, Organic Valley Mozzarella not only attracts with its characteristic taste but also provides excellent nutrients for the body.
