Fresh mozzarella is a good source of protein and calcium, and it contains some vitamin A. This cheese is generally suitable for most people in moderation, but individuals with lactose intolerance should be mindful of their intake. A recommended serving size is about 1-2 ounces per day. Its calorie and nutrient profile make it neutral for weight management when included as part of a balanced diet. Try pairing it with tomatoes and basil for a classic Caprese salad – use part-skim mozzarella for a slightly lower fat option.
