What You Should Know

You'd find this in the refrigerated dairy section or deli case — a soft ball of fresh mozzarella that feels at-home on a picnic plate, caprese salad, or quick snack. It gives off a wholesome, slightly nostalgic vibe of simple, homemade Italian meals. The short ingredient list and moist, springy texture reflect traditional cheesemaking (pasteurized milk, vinegar, enzymes, salt): manufactured but not heavily reformulated, pointing to processed rather than ultra‑processed territory.
