Mozzarella
Moderate nutritional value
Soft whole-milk mozzarella, values as sold.
Mozzarella is a mild, soft Italian stretched-curd cheese, eaten fresh in salads such as caprese and melted on pizza, pasta and sandwiches. A 30 g serving has about 90 kcal, 6.5 g of protein and 6.5 g of fat, 4 g of it saturated, with about 150 mg of calcium, and it is high in vitamin B12. Fresh mozzarella balls packed in whey are moister and a little lower in fat; low-moisture pizza mozzarella is firmer, richer and saltier.
