“Pizza” mozzarella typically refers to a type of mozzarella that is formulated to melt well and provide a stretchy texture when heated, making it ideal for pizza. It often has a higher moisture content than regular mozzarella, which helps it achieve that perfect, gooey quality.
For your lasagne, you can look for a block of low-moisture mozzarella or “part-skim” mozzarella, which will grate easily and still melt nicely. Just check the packaging for terms like “pizza mozzarella” or “low-moisture mozzarella” to find what you need.
Enjoy your lasagne!
