Global Mozzarella Cheese Market - Key Trends and Drivers Summarized
Mozzarella cheese, a semi-soft cheese originally from southern Italy, is famed for its delicate taste and elastic texture, making it a favorite choice in many culinary applications, particularly in pizzas and salads. Traditionally made from the milk of water buffalos herded in the regions of Campania, Lazio, Apulia, and Molise, mozzarella is also commonly produced from cow`s milk, which is more widespread and referred to as 'fior di latte.' The cheese is most renowned for its high moisture content and stringy properties, which are a result of the pasta filata process, where the cheese curd is heated and stretched before being molded and cooled. This process gives mozzarella its distinctive texture, which can range from firm and rubbery to soft and creamy, depending on the aging process.The versatility of mozzarella cheese in culinary applications is one of its most significant attributes.
