Kraft Pizza Mozzarella Cheddar Cheese Blend
What it is
This is a shredded cheese blend designed for pizza and other baked dishes. It combines the melting qualities of mozzarella with the sharp flavor of cheddar. The cheese is pre-shredded for convenience, saving time in the kitchen. It comes in a resealable bag to help maintain freshness after opening. This blend is a popular choice for home cooks looking for a flavorful and easy-to-use cheese topping.
How people cook with it
This cheese blend is perfect for adding flavor and meltability to a variety of dishes. It is particularly well-suited for Italian-inspired meals and comfort foods.
- Topping for homemade pizzas
- Melting into casseroles
- Sprinkling on baked pasta dishes
- Adding to quesadillas
Simply open the bag and sprinkle the shredded cheese blend directly onto your pizza before baking. For casseroles and pasta dishes, add it during the last few minutes of cooking to allow it to melt and become gooey. It can also be used in quesadillas, layered between tortillas and heated until the cheese is fully melted. The blend's balanced flavor makes it versatile for many savory applications where a cheesy topping is desired.
How it differs from similar foods
This blend differs from pure mozzarella by incorporating the distinct tang and color of cheddar. It offers a more complex flavor profile than plain mozzarella, while still providing excellent meltability. The combination aims to deliver a richer taste experience for baked goods.

How to keep the rest
After opening, reseal the bag tightly to prevent the cheese from drying out. Store the cheese blend in the refrigerator. It is best to use the cheese within a few days of opening for optimal freshness and flavor. Ensure the bag is sealed to keep out air and moisture.
