Mozzarella and the Dairy Free Diet

Mozzarella is a traditionally Italian cheese, which is either made from cow's milk or water buffalo's milk. It is known for its mild, milky taste and its elastic, stretchy texture, making it a popular choice for pizzas and salads. Fresh mozzarella is typically white but may turn slightly yellow with age and is often sold in a brine solution to maintain its moisture.
