📜 History
Mozzarella cheese originated in Italy, traditionally made from buffalo milk. Over time, hard mozzarella (low-moisture mozzarella) became popular worldwide because it melts evenly and stores well. As baking ovens became common in households, mozzarella started being used in baked dishes, casseroles, and muffins. The idea of combining vegetables with mozzarella evolved as people sought healthier, balanced meals—especially for children.
