The packaging features eye-catching photos that highlight the exceptional melting qualities of the cheese. Like the rest of the Fresh Mozzarella line, this new log is also rBST-free, gluten-free, and OU Kosher certified. Each 1# log is conveniently precut into 21 slices for ease of use.
Gaetano Auricchio, President, notes: “As leaders in the specialty cheese category, we strive to continuously offer meaningful innovation to our customers. Our new Baking Fresh Mozzarella is doing just that, while strengthening and energizing the Fresh Mozzarella category as a whole.”
