Discover the versatility of Urban Meadow Low Moisture Mozzarella, a kitchen essential that brings authentic Italian flavor to your everyday cooking and baking adventures.
This low moisture mozzarella cheese offers the perfect balance of creamy texture and mild, milky flavor that makes it ideal for countless culinary applications. Unlike fresh mozzarella, the reduced moisture content gives this cheese excellent melting properties and a longer shelf life, making it a practical choice for home cooks. The cheese maintains its shape well when heated, creating those coveted cheese pulls in pizza while developing a beautiful golden-brown color when baked. Its firm texture also makes it easy to shred, slice, or cube for various recipes.
Low moisture mozzarella is a cornerstone of Italian-American cuisine, perfect for classic dishes like pizza, lasagna, baked ziti, and chicken parmesan. The cheese melts evenly and creates a satisfying stretch that makes it ideal for hot sandwiches, quesadillas, and stuffed chicken breasts. For best results when cooking, add this mozzarella during the final minutes of baking to prevent overcooking, which can make it rubbery. It pairs beautifully with tomato-based sauces, fresh basil, and olive oil. Beyond Italian dishes, this versatile cheese works wonderfully in casseroles, gratins, and as a mild addition to salads when cubed. Store it properly refrigerated and use within the recommended timeframe for optimal freshness and flavor.
