Mozzarella cheese is a very popular Italian cheese, which is famous for its rich taste and unique cooking application. With fresh milk as raw material, mozzarella cheese is rich in taste and unique in texture after a special fermentation and ripening process. This kind of cheese is pale yellow in appearance, usually showing textures of different sizes and tiny bubbles.

Mozzarella cheese can be eaten directly or used to make various dishes, such as pizza, salad, toast and so on. Because of its unique taste and texture, mozzarella cheese is usually used to increase the flavor and taste of dishes. Besides cooking applications, mozzarella cheese is also appreciated for its nutritional value, which is rich in protein, calcium, vitamins and minerals.

Shelf life of cheese

The shelf life of cheese depends on its kind and preparation method. Generally speaking, soft cheese has a shorter shelf life than hard cheese. This is because soft cheese contains high moisture and milk fat, which is easily affected by bacteria and deteriorates. However, hard cheese has a long shelf life because of its low moisture content after long-term fermentation and aging.

Under the right preservation conditions, some common hard cheeses such as Parmesan and Cheddar can be preserved for weeks or even months. Soft cheeses, such as Bree and Camembert, need to be eaten in a few days or weeks. To prolong the shelf life of cheese, it is best to store it in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place, avoiding direct sunlight and high temperature.
