Frequently Asked Questions About Part-skim shredded mozzarella
Does part-skim shredded mozzarella work well on pizza?
Yes, part-skim shredded mozzarella is a popular pizza topping because it melts and stretches while giving off less moisture than fresh mozzarella. Spread it evenly, and avoid piling it over very wet toppings.
Can you freeze part-skim shredded mozzarella?
Yes, part-skim shredded mozzarella freezes well. Seal it in an airtight freezer bag, ideally in portions, and use it in cooked dishes after thawing; freezing can make the strands a little drier or more crumbly.
How long does part-skim shredded mozzarella last after opening?
Keep part-skim shredded mozzarella sealed in the refrigerator after opening and follow the storage directions on its package. Use a clean, dry utensil when serving, and discard it if you notice mold or an unusual smell.
How is part-skim shredded mozzarella different from fresh mozzarella?
Part-skim shredded mozzarella is typically lower in moisture and ready to sprinkle, while fresh mozzarella is soft and moist. The shredded kind is convenient for pizza and casseroles; fresh mozzarella is often sliced for salads and sandwiches.
Does part-skim shredded mozzarella stretch when melted?
Yes, part-skim shredded mozzarella can stretch when melted, especially in a hot dish such as pizza. Its lower fat content can make the result less rich and sometimes less stretchy than full-fat mozzarella.
Can you eat part-skim shredded mozzarella without cooking it?
Yes, part-skim shredded mozzarella can be eaten straight from the package; it does not need to be cooked first. Add it to salads or cold sandwiches, and refrigerate the opened package promptly.
Why does part-skim shredded mozzarella clump together?
Part-skim shredded mozzarella may clump if moisture collects in the package or the shreds are compressed. Keep the bag sealed and dry, then gently separate the strands with a clean fork before using them.
Can part-skim shredded mozzarella replace cheddar in a grilled cheese sandwich?
Yes, part-skim shredded mozzarella can replace cheddar in a grilled cheese, but the sandwich will taste milder and have a softer, stretchier melt. Pair it with a sharper cheese if you want a more pronounced flavor.
Is part-skim shredded mozzarella the same as low-moisture mozzarella?
Not necessarily: “part-skim” describes reduced fat, while “low-moisture” describes the cheese’s moisture level. Shredded mozzarella is often relatively dry, but those terms refer to different qualities and are not interchangeable.
How do you stop part-skim shredded mozzarella from burning in the oven?
Add part-skim shredded mozzarella near the end of baking if the dish needs a long time in the oven. It melts quickly, and covering it loosely or lowering the heat can help keep the cheese from over-browning.

What is Part-skim shredded mozzarella?
Part-skim shredded mozzarella is a lower-fat, grated form of mozzarella, the Italian cheese traditionally made from cow’s or water-buffalo milk. Shredded versions are usually made with cow’s milk and have less moisture than the fresh balls, so they melt evenly and stretch when hot.
It is a familiar topping for pizza and baked pasta, and also works in toasted sandwiches or on vegetables. Its mild, milky flavour lets sauces and herbs come through, while its melt gives dishes a soft, stretchy texture. With 28 g of protein per 100 g, it is a protein-rich cheese and also supplies calcium. For a lighter meal, use a modest handful over vegetables or a thin-crust pizza.
