Cheddar and mozzarella — two of the most popular cheeses in the world, which have earned their fame for their taste and versatility.
This was reported by URA-Inform with reference to Today.
Cheddar cheese, originally from England, and Italian mozzarella are made from cow's milk, although traditional mozzarella uses buffalo milk, creating a unique “buffalo” version that is still available today.
Cheddar is usually aged for a year or longer, which gives it a rich flavor and a slight spiciness. It is hard, but melts into a creamy texture.
Mozzarella, on the other hand, is soft and fresh, and is made with minimal aging, which gives it a delicate flavor and elasticity when melted, making it ideal for pizza and lasagna. Some low-moisture varieties can be stored longer.
Both cheeses are rich in protein and calcium, which are important for bone and muscle health, according to nutritionist Natalie Rizzo.
Cheddar vs. Mozzarella: Which Is Healthier?
Experts prefer mozzarella because it has fewer calories and saturated fat, and has other benefits:
Fresh mozzarella, being minimally processed, often contains fewer additives and preservatives. Cheddar is an aged cheese, so it has a richer flavor, but is also more likely to be high in salt, » say experts.
A stick of mozzarella cheese can be a good option if you are trying to lose weight.
