Mozzarella and the Lactose Free Diet

Mozzarella is a traditional Italian cheese that originated in the Campania region and is typically made from the milk of water buffalo or cows. It is renowned for its soft, stretchy texture and a mild, slightly tangy flavor. Mozzarella is a key ingredient in many dishes, especially pizzas and salads, and is often enjoyed fresh. The cheese can vary in moisture content, with fresh mozzarella being more moist and perishable compared to its drier, low-moisture counterparts used for cooking.
