Kraft Shredded Low Moisture Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
What it is
This is a pre-shredded cheese made from cow's milk. It is low in moisture, which means it melts well and browns nicely. The part-skim designation indicates that some of the fat has been removed from the milk used to make it. This cheese is a popular choice for many home cooks due to its convenience and consistent performance in various dishes.
How people cook with it
This versatile cheese is a staple in many kitchens, perfect for adding a cheesy element to a wide range of meals.
- Topping for pizza
- Layering in lasagna
- Melting into casseroles
- Sprinkling on pasta dishes
When using this shredded mozzarella, you can add it directly from the bag to your recipes. It melts smoothly and evenly, making it ideal for dishes where a gooey, melted cheese texture is desired. For pizzas, sprinkle it over your sauce and toppings before baking. In baked pasta dishes or casseroles, it can be layered within the ingredients or sprinkled on top for a golden-brown finish. It also works well stirred into sauces or soups just before serving to add richness and flavor.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to fresh mozzarella, low-moisture mozzarella has a firmer texture and melts more uniformly without releasing a lot of liquid. This makes it more suitable for baking and dishes where you want the cheese to hold its shape and brown well.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient way to add melted cheese to their favorite recipes.
How to keep the rest
After opening, reseal the bag tightly to prevent the cheese from drying out. Store it in the refrigerator. For best quality, consume within the recommended timeframe on the packaging. Keeping it well-sealed helps maintain its freshness and meltability.
