Transform your favorite recipes with Kraft Mozzarella Finely Shredded Cheese, the versatile dairy staple that brings authentic Italian flavor and perfect melting properties to countless dishes. This conveniently pre-shredded mozzarella cheese saves you time in the kitchen while delivering the mild, creamy taste and stretchy texture that makes mozzarella a beloved cheese worldwide. The fine shred size ensures even distribution and quick melting, making it ideal for both cooking and baking applications.
Mozzarella originated in Italy and remains central to Italian cuisine, particularly in dishes like pizza, lasagna, and caprese salad. This finely shredded version excels in recipes where you want the cheese to melt smoothly and incorporate seamlessly. Sprinkle it over homemade pizzas for that classic cheese pull, layer it in baked ziti or stuffed shells, or fold it into quesadillas and grilled sandwiches. The fine texture also makes it perfect for topping casseroles, gratins, and baked chicken dishes where you want golden, bubbly cheese on top.
For best results when cooking, add this mozzarella during the final stages of baking to prevent over-browning, or mix it into sauces just before serving to maintain its creamy consistency. It pairs beautifully with fresh basil, tomatoes, and olive oil for Italian-inspired dishes, but also works wonderfully in Mexican cuisine, breakfast egg dishes, and comfort food favorites. Store the shredded cheese in your refrigerator and use it straight from the package for maximum convenience in your everyday cooking and meal preparation.
