What You Should Know

Found in the refrigerated dairy section or deli case, this fresh mozzarella is the kind of grab for picnics, caprese salads, or simple snack plates. It feels fresh and wholesome—evoking summer nights and easy entertaining—and the short ingredient list and gentle processing (pasteurization and curdling with vinegar/enzymes) indicate a minimally processed cheese rather than an ultra‑processed convenience item.
