Simple Truth Organic Mozzarella Cheese
What it is
This is a ball of fresh mozzarella cheese made with organic milk. It has a mild, milky flavor and a soft, slightly chewy texture. The cheese is typically packed in brine or whey to maintain its freshness and moisture. It is a versatile cheese that melts well, making it a popular choice for many dishes.
How people cook with it
Fresh mozzarella is a staple in many kitchens, perfect for both simple preparations and more elaborate cooking.
- Topping for pizzas
- Ingredient in Caprese salads
- Filling for baked pasta dishes
- Added to grilled sandwiches
To use, simply drain the mozzarella from its liquid. You can slice it for salads or sandwiches, tear it into smaller pieces for pizzas, or cube it for baked dishes. When heated, it becomes wonderfully gooey and stretchy. It pairs well with tomatoes, basil, and olive oil, but also complements a wide range of other ingredients. Its mild flavor allows it to absorb the tastes of other components in a dish.
How it differs from similar foods
Fresh mozzarella differs from low-moisture mozzarella in its texture and water content. Fresh mozzarella is softer and has a higher moisture level, resulting in a creamier melt. Low-moisture mozzarella is firmer and melts with less liquid, making it ideal for pizzas where a crispier crust is desired.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs alike appreciate this cheese for its quality and versatility.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any remaining fresh mozzarella in its original brine or whey, or in fresh water, in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best consumed within a few days of opening to enjoy its peak freshness and texture.
