Description
Kaanlar Suda Mozzarella 500 g is fresh mozzarella packaged in brine. The 500-gram package is a medium-sized option for kitchens that serve Caprese and salads daily but haven’t reached the volume needed for bulk containers—it strikes a balance between waste and cost per kilogram.

Is 500 g the right size for which kitchen?
It all comes down to one question: Can you finish the package you’ve opened on the same day? Fresh mozzarella loses its freshness quickly once opened; any package you can’t finish goes to waste.
In a kitchen that produces 3–4 servings of caprese per day, 500 g is the right size. For lower volumes, a 125 g single-serving package makes more sense; for higher volumes, a 3.5 kg bucket is more practical.
| Daily consumption | Proper packaging | Why |
| 1–2 servings | 125 g per serving | No fire, fixed portion |
| 3–5 servings | 500 g | Cost–fire balance |
| 6–10 servings | 500 g or 3.5 kg | Varies by batch |
| 10+ servings | 3.5 kg bucket | Lowest cost per kilogram |
Where is it used?
- Caprese: tomatoes, basil, olive oil
- Salad: green salad, arugula, and cantaloupe pairings
- Appetizers and serving platter: served cold
- Sandwiches and bruschetta: sliced

The Difference Between Mozzarella in Water, in Blocks, and Grated
All three are mozzarella; the difference lies in their moisture content, which determines how they are used.
| 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 |

How many servings are in 500 g?
A serving of Caprese typically calls for 100–125 g of mozzarella; accordingly, a 500 g package yields roughly 4–5 servings. When distributed throughout a salad, the serving size decreases to 50–60 g, so the number of servings increases to 8–10.
To calculate the cost per serving, you can divide the current package price listed on the page by these numbers.
How do you prepare for the service?
Open the package near the serving area, remove the cheese from the brine, and let it drain for a few minutes. If mozzarella is placed on a plate without draining, it will release olive oil and make the presentation look watery.
Mozzarella straight out of the refrigerator won’t have much flavor—take it out 15–20 minutes before serving. Use a knife with fine teeth when slicing, and cut without pressing down; pressing down will cause it to release its moisture.
How should opened packaging be stored?
Store the remaining cheese in its own brine, in a sealed container, at +2 / +4 °C. Do not pour out the brine; letting the cheese sit in the air will dry out its surface and make its texture harder.
If the brine isn’t enough, you can prepare slightly salted water. Plain water draws out the salt from the cheese and dilutes its flavor. Consume the opened product as soon as possible.
Is it used on pizza?
Not suitable—because of the high moisture content, it releases water in the oven and the crust gets soggy. For pizza, gratin, and toast, grated mozzarella or block mozzarella is the right choice.
Can it be frozen?
Not recommended. High moisture content breaks down the texture during freezing; when thawed, the cheese crumbles and becomes watery. It becomes unsuitable for cold serving. The right solution is not to freeze it, but to choose packaging that matches your consumption rate.
