Mozzarella Cheese

Mozzarella is a moist white cheese with a soft texture. It is often made from Italian buffalo or cow's milk and originated in Italy. It is lower in sodium and calories than most other cheeses.

Lactobacillus casei and Lactobacillus fermentum are among the microorganisms found in mozzarella that work as probiotics. These probiotics have been shown in both animal and human research to enhance gut health, increase immunity, and reduce inflammation in the body. Drinking 7 ounces (200 ml) per day of fermented dairy containing Lactobacillus fermentum for three months dramatically reduced the duration of respiratory infections, according to a study of 1,072 older adults. As a result, dairy products containing this probiotic, such as mozzarella, may help to improve your immune system and fight infections. Mozzarella is great in a Caprese salad with fresh tomatoes, basil, and balsamic vinegar.
