What You Should Know

Crystal Farms Sliced Mozzarella Cheese (7 oz) is a familiar, straightforward dairy staple you’ll find in the refrigerated cheese section of most American grocery stores — stacked with other sliced and shredded cheeses, near deli cheese, butter and pizza toppings. It reads as a simple, family-friendly choice for everyday meals: quick weekday sandwiches and meltable cheese for burgers, pizza nights, grilled cheese, snack plates, and lunchboxes. The brand leans into a Midwest farm story, positioning itself as a trustworthy, value-oriented option for families and shoppers who want “real” dairy with a local-farm association rather than specialty or artisanal claims. Label copy emphasizes cultured, pasteurized, part-skim and low-moisture qualities; there’s a “natural” cue in the short ingredient list (milk, salt, enzymes) but no organic or specialty certifications and no child-targeted characters or indulgent gourmet branding. In plain processing terms, this is a made cheese product: milk that’s been cultured, pasteurized and salted into a low‑moisture, part‑skim mozzarella — processed dairy but not an ultraprocessed concoction of industrial additives. Sensory-wise it delivers a mild, delicate, milky flavor with a slightly springy, firm-but-melting texture; slices are thin and convenient for layering and melting. Packaging is typical of sliced block cheese — a stack of slices in a sealed plastic package — making the ritual of pulling a slice for a sandwich or sliding several onto a burger quick and familiar. Nutritionally it’s light per slice (about 60 kcal) with modest sodium (~135 mg), and virtually no sugar.
