Hannaford Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
What it is
This is a semi-soft, white cheese made from pasteurized part-skim cow's milk. It has a mild, milky flavor and a smooth texture. Part-skim mozzarella contains less fat than whole-milk mozzarella, making it a lighter option. It's a versatile cheese that melts well and is a staple in many kitchens.
How people cook with it
This cheese is a favorite for its melting properties and mild taste, making it suitable for a wide range of dishes.

When cooking, part-skim mozzarella can be sliced, shredded, or cubed. It melts beautifully over baked pasta dishes, casseroles, and especially on pizza, where it forms a lovely, bubbly crust. It can also be enjoyed fresh in salads or layered into sandwiches. For a quick snack, it pairs well with crackers or fruit. Its mild flavor complements a variety of ingredients without overpowering them.
How it differs from similar foods
