Why is the mozarella cheese used for pizza?!
Answers: Is it made separately like other brands of cheese?
Mozzarella cheese is used for pizza because of the way it melts in a uniform manner - plus it tastes so good and it is so nice and gooey.
It's stretchy, not too salty, soft and easy to cut.
yeah it goes all stringy when melted unlike other cheeses that just break apart or crumble...yummy pizza would be nice
Probably because it has a "lighter" flavor. If it were cheddar, for example, the flavor would overpower the toppings.
In america, mozarella was the cheese of choice.
It is only recently pizza shops have experimented with mixing cheddar in for extra flavor in speciality pizzas.
In Germany they use Edam cheese instead, as mozarella cheese is used more in the salat of tomatoe/mozarella slices with basil/olive oil drizzeled over it. It comes in water packed packages so the balls are not dried out like here.
The flavor is not as harsh as some other cheese and it's cheap.
I have heard Mozzarella cheese is used in making pizzas to give a traditional taste.
