Mozzarella is a type of soft, mild cheese that originated in Italy. It is commonly used in Italian cuisine and is a key ingredient in dishes such as pizza, lasagna, and caprese salad. Mozzarella can be enjoyed fresh, with a creamy and slightly tangy taste, or it can be melted and used as a topping or filling for various dishes. The cheese melts beautifully, becoming stretchy and gooey, which makes it perfect for pizzas, sandwiches, and baked pasta dishes. Mozzarella is also available in different forms, such as shredded, sliced, or as fresh mozzarella balls known as bocconcini.
