What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the dairy aisle or the grab-and-go refrigerated section and often pull it for lunchboxes, after-school snacks, or a portable picnic treat. It gives a nostalgic, wholesome, convenient vibe — a stretchy, protein-forward mozzarella made by pasteurization, culturing and stretching that feels simple and familiar. The ingredient list (milk, salt, microbial enzymes) and lack of industrial additives suggest traditional cheese-making rather than heavy industrial reformulation, indicating minimal industrial processing beyond pasteurization and shaping.
