Mozzarella Cheese - Shredded - Part-Skim - Freeze Dried

Product Details

Enjoy a convenient bulk package of freeze-dried part-skim shredded mozzarella cheese. This 10.0 ounce package is vacuum sealed in a resealable easy-tear mylar bag that protects contents from moisture and oxygen for long-term storage. Each ounce of freeze-dried mozzarella rehydrates to roughly 4 ounces of fresh mozzarella, so this package yields about 40 ounces (2.5 pounds) when rehydrated.

• Net weight: 10.0 ounces
• Type: Low-moisture, part-skim shredded mozzarella
• Packaging: Resealable easy-tear mylar bag with oxygen barrier

Use & Preparation

To rehydrate, add water and allow a few minutes for the cheese to return to a soft state (follow label instructions). Rehydrated mozzarella works well in recipes that call for fresh shredded cheese. The product is also enjoyable straight from the pouch as a crunchy, high-protein snack while hiking or camping.

Ingredients

Low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese, pasteurized part-skim milk, cheese culture, salt, enzymes, powdered cellulose (added to prevent caking).

Storage

Store unopened pouches in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Reseal opened bags tightly and keep the included oxygen absorber and desiccant to prolong freshness.

Shelf Life & Storage Notes

• Unopened bags: Estimated shelf life up to 10 years under proper storage away from direct sunlight.
• After opening: If resealed with the included zipper and the oxygen absorber/desiccant is kept inside, expected shelf life is approximately 3 months to 1 year depending on conditions.
• Extension: Using a home vacuum sealer or proper oxygen-removal methods can extend the remaining shelf life to 5+ years.
• Safety tip: Store pouches in a rodent-free container or bin, since pouches are less rodent-proof than metal cans.
