Description
Kaanlar Grated Mozzarella 1000 G is pre-grated pizza cheese. Because its moisture content has been reduced, it melts, stretches, and browns evenly in the oven—this is what sets it apart from regular mozzarella. The 1 kg package is the ideal size for daily use in pizzerias, cafes, and mid-sized restaurant kitchens.

How many pizzas are in a 1 kg package?
Quick calculation: An average 28–30 cm pizza uses 80–120 g of cheese. This means a 1 kg package is roughly enough for 8–12 pizzas. For a business that produces 30–40 pizzas a day, this translates to a daily consumption of 3–4 packages.
- Pizza restaurants, pide and lahmacun restaurants
- Cafes, toast and sandwich spots
- Medium-sized à la carte restaurants
- Catering and institutional kitchens
For businesses with higher volumes, the Bahçıvan Grater 2 Kg or the Çobanoğlu Grater 2 Kg offer a more cost-effective price per kilogram.
Where is it used?
- Oven: pizza, lasagna, baked pasta, gratin, pide, börek topping
- Grilled and toasted items: toast, sandwiches, baked potatoes, potatoes with toppings
- Hot appetizers: roasted vegetables, soufflé, soup garnish
The pre-grated form completely eliminates the grating step during peak service and ensures consistent portion sizes.
The Difference Between Mozzarella in Water, in Blocks, and Grated
All three are mozzarella; the difference lies in their moisture content.
| Criterion | In Water | Block | Grater |
| Humidity | High | Low–medium | Low |
| Service | Cold, as is | Chopped / grated | Ready |
| Baked | Releases water | Melts evenly | Melts evenly, browns |
| Main uses | Caprese salad | Homemade grated cheese | Pizza, gratin |

Why is there starch in grated cheese?
Starch or cellulose-based anti-caking agents are typically used in grated cheeses to prevent the pieces from sticking together. While this additive is convenient, it can affect the consistency when making cheese sauce—the sauce becomes cloudy.
This isn’t a problem when using it on the stovetop; however, kitchens that make sauces prefer to buy mozzarella in blocks and grate it themselves. Refer to the package label for information on ingredients.
What causes grease to seep out and the pizza to turn dark?
The problem is usually not the cheese itself, but rather the incompatibility between the cheese and the oven. When grated cheese is left at a very high temperature for a long time, it first releases its fat and then browns.
Practical tip: Spread the cheese evenly over the sauce, leaving a 1–1.5 cm border around the edges, and use the cheese after taking it out of the refrigerator just before serving, rather than using it straight from the fridge. Read the full article in our pizza cheese guide.
How should it be stored?
Store at +2 / +4 °C. Once opened, keep the container tightly closed and consume within a few days.
After opening the package, do not leave it in a humid environment; moisture will impair the function of the grater and cause it to clump.
Can it be frozen?
Yes. Grated mozzarella, unlike regular mozzarella, is suitable for freezing—because of its low moisture content, its texture does not deteriorate significantly when thawed.
Freeze in individual portions; thaw in the refrigerator before use; thawing at room temperature will cause clumping.
