What it is
This is a finely shredded blend of three popular cheeses commonly used for pizza. It includes low-moisture mozzarella, low-moisture part-skim mozzarella, and provolone.

The fine shred size ensures quick and even melting across your favorite recipes.
How people cook with it
This cheese blend is perfect for adding cheesy goodness to a variety of baked Italian-inspired dishes. Its convenient shredded form makes it easy to sprinkle and melt.
- Topping for homemade pizzas
- Layering in lasagna
- Sprinkling over baked pasta dishes
- Adding to calzones
Simply sprinkle this finely shredded cheese blend directly onto your pizza dough before adding toppings, or layer it into pasta bakes and lasagna. It melts beautifully when exposed to heat, creating a gooey and delicious topping. For calzones, mix it with your fillings before folding and baking. The fine shred ensures it melts quickly and evenly, coating your food in a rich, cheesy layer. It's designed for straightforward application in any recipe calling for melted cheese.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to block cheeses, this pre-shredded blend offers convenience and faster melting. The specific combination of mozzarella and provolone provides a tangier, more complex flavor than 100% mozzarella, while the low-moisture varieties prevent a watery outcome when baked.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient and flavorful cheese for their Italian-inspired meals.
How to keep the rest
After opening, reseal the package tightly to prevent the cheese from drying out or absorbing odors. Store in the refrigerator. It is best to use the remaining cheese within a few days for optimal freshness and flavor. Ensure the bag is sealed to maintain its quality.
