A Practical Guide to Mozzarella Cheese
Mozzarella is Canada's pizza cheese of choice. It’s featured on 40% of restaurant and pizzeria menus.1
Since no two dishes are the same, we developed a line of mozzarella cheeses available in a variety of formats, all specially designed for foodservice operators.
Pizza Mozzarella cheeses
While our Pizza Mozzarella cheese is specially designed with the needs of pizzaiolos in mind, it's offered in a number of convenient varieties that suit every recipe.
Stretched Pizza Mozzarella
When heated, our stretched Pizza Mozzarella offers an exceptional stretch and a clean dairy taste. It forms evenly dispersed blisters.
Pressed Pizza Mozzarella
Our pressed Pizza Mozzarella has a distinct buttery flavour with a glossy appearance. Its lower stretchability results in lighter blisters.

Our mozzarella style fresh cheeses are revered for their fresh, milky taste and creamy texture. Versatile, they pair wonderfully with contrasting bold flavours and come in a wide range of varieties for all kinds of applications!
Bocconcini
Bocconcini cheese maintains its shape in higher temperatures. It can be cooked in a conveyor oven or even fried.
Fior di Latte
Fior di Latte is designed for high-temperature ovens. Thanks to its high moisture content, it tends to melt fast and smoothly.
