Common questions
Is Mozzarella healthy?
Mozzarella scores 94/100 on Tallow — our clean band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.
What is in Mozzarella?
Mozzarella lists 5 ingredients, starting with Milk, Skim Milk, Cultures, Salt and Enzymes. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.
Does Mozzarella contain seed oils?
No. Nothing in Mozzarella’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".
How processed is Mozzarella?
Mozzarella is NOVA group 3: processed, but not ultra-processed. NOVA runs 1 to 4, where 1 is whole food and 4 is ultra-processed.
How does Mozzarella compare to other cheese?
