Mozzarella is a fresh, soft, stretched-curd cheese (pasta filata) known for its delicate flavor, elastic texture, and high moisture content. Made by heating and hand:stretching curd until smooth and glossy, it develops a tender bite and a milky interior that releases whey when cut. Traditionally produced in Italy, mozzarella appears in two primary forms: "buffalo-milk mozzarella", prized for its rich, tangy character, and "fior di latte", made from cow's milk with a lighter, sweeter profile. Used widely in Italian cooking—from pizza and baked dishes to salads and antipasti — it remains one of the most versatile and recognizable fresh cheeses. - AsNotedIn
