Shullsburg Creamery Shredded Low Moisture Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
What it is
This is a package of shredded mozzarella cheese made from part-skim milk. It has a low moisture content, which means it melts well and browns nicely. The cheese is pre-shredded for convenience, saving you time in the kitchen. It comes from Shullsburg Creamery, a producer known for its dairy products.
How people cook with it
This versatile cheese is a staple for many home cooks. It's perfect for adding a cheesy layer to a variety of dishes.
- Topping for pizza
- Layering in lasagna
- Sprinkling on pasta
- Melting into casseroles
When cooking, this shredded mozzarella can be used directly from the package. For pizzas, it's spread evenly over the sauce and toppings before baking. In baked pasta dishes like lasagna or baked ziti, it's often layered between the pasta and sauce, or sprinkled on top for a golden-brown finish. It melts beautifully when heated, creating a gooey, satisfying texture. You can also add it to quesadillas or grilled cheese sandwiches for an extra cheesy pull.
How it differs from similar foods
Low moisture mozzarella is drier and firmer than fresh mozzarella, making it ideal for melting and browning without releasing too much water. Part-skim means it contains less fat than whole milk mozzarella, but it still offers a mild, creamy flavor and excellent meltability.
Who it is for
Home cooks preparing Italian-inspired meals or anyone who enjoys melted cheese will find this product useful.
How to keep the rest
After opening, reseal the package tightly to prevent the cheese from drying out. Store it in the refrigerator. It's best to use the cheese within a few days of opening for optimal freshness and flavor. Ensure the package is sealed to keep out air and moisture.
