Shredded Mozzarella Cheese Measuring FAQs

Why should you use low-moisture mozzarella on pizza instead of fresh balls? ▾

Fresh mozzarella has high water content (over 50%) that puddles on pizza crust, making it soggy; low-moisture browns and stretches.

Does part-skim or whole-milk mozzarella brown better? ▾

Whole-milk mozzarella has higher milkfat, melting into tender pools with richer flavor and less scorching than part-skim.
