To use Bashes Shredded Mozzarella, simply open the package and sprinkle the desired amount over your food. It melts quickly when heated, making it ideal for baked dishes like casseroles, gratins, and baked pasta. For pizzas, it can be spread evenly over the sauce and toppings before baking. It can also be added to stovetop dishes like omelets or grilled cheese sandwiches during the final stages of cooking to ensure it melts without becoming oily. Its pre-shredded form eliminates the need for manual grating.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to block mozzarella, pre-shredded mozzarella is more convenient as it saves preparation time. However, some pre-shredded cheeses may contain anti-caking agents to prevent clumping, which can slightly affect meltability and texture compared to freshly grated cheese from a block.

How to keep the rest
After opening, reseal the package tightly to prevent the cheese from drying out. Store in the refrigerator. It is best to use the remaining cheese within a few days of opening to maintain its freshness and optimal melting quality. Avoid leaving the package at room temperature for extended periods.
