Variants Mozzarella on a pizza napoletana Ovolini refers to smaller-sized bocconcini, and sometimes to cherry bocconcini. Mozzarella is also available in smoked ( affumicata) and reduced-moisture, packaged varieties. When twisted to form a plait, mozzarella is called treccia. In this last form it is often used to prepare dishes cooked in the oven, such as lasagna and pizza. It is soaked in salt water ( brine) or whey, and other times citric acid is added and it is partly dried (desiccated), its structure being more compact. Mozzarella, recognised as a Traditional Speciality Guaranteed (TSG/STG) since 1996 in the EU, is available fresh, usually rolled into a ball of 80 to 100 grams (2.8 to 3.5 oz) or about 6 cm (2.4 in) in diameter, and sometimes up to 1 kg (2.2 lb) or about 12 cm (4.7 in) in diameter.

The term is first mentioned in 1570, cited in a cookbook by Bartolomeo Scappi, reading "milk cream, fresh butter, ricotta cheese, fresh mozzarella and milk". Mozzarella, derived from the Southern Italian dialects spoken in Apulia, Calabria, Campania, Abruzzo, Molise, Basilicata, Lazio, and Marche, is the diminutive form of mozza ("cut"), or mozzare ("to cut off"), derived from the method of working. Mozzarella is used for most types of pizza and several pasta dishes or served with sliced tomatoes and basil in Caprese salad. Low-moisture mozzarella can be kept refrigerated for up to a month, though some shredded low-moisture mozzarella is sold with a shelf life of up to six months. Due to its high moisture content, it is traditionally served the day after it is made but can be kept in brine for up to a week or longer when sold in vacuum-sealed packages.
