Description
Kaanlar Mozzarella Block 1 kg is a mozzarella with reduced moisture content that can be sliced or grated. The block form eliminates the need for a grater in the kitchen —since it contains no additives commonly found in pre-grated cheese, it yields cleaner results in cheese sauces and gratin dishes.

Why should you buy a block of cheese and grate it in the kitchen?
Starch- or cellulose-based anti-caking agents are typically used in pre-grated cheese to prevent the pieces from sticking together. This additive doesn’t cause any problems when used in baking, but it disrupts the consistency when making sauces; the sauce becomes cloudy and sometimes has a gritty texture.
For kitchens that prepare cheese sauce, gratin sauce, or lasagna béchamel, buying the cheese in blocks and grating it just before serving makes a noticeable difference in quality. If you’re using it only as a pizza topping, Kaanlar Grated Mozzarella 1000 g is the most convenient option.

How do you grate a block of mozzarella?
The most common mistake is grating cheese while it’s still warm —the cheese sticks to the grater while it’s warm, and the pieces get crushed and clump together. Make sure to chill the block thoroughly in the refrigerator before grating it.
In busy kitchens, it’s practical to grate only as much as you need at the start of the day and keep it in a sealed container in the refrigerator; however, the grated vegetable will dry out if left sitting, so prepare no more than what you’ll need for that shift.
How many pizzas does a 1 kg block make?
Based on 80–120 g of cheese per 28–30 cm pizza, a 1 kg block yields roughly 8–12 pizzas. Since 200–300 g is used per pan for lasagna, the same block yields 3–5 pans.
To calculate the cost per serving, you can divide the current block price listed on the page by these numbers.
How should it be stored? Can it be frozen?
Store at +2 / +4 °C. Cover the cut surface with plastic wrap or a lidded container; otherwise, the exposed block will dry out and form a crust.
Freezable — because it has a low moisture content, its texture does not deteriorate significantly when thawed. Freeze it in portions and thaw it in the refrigerator. This is what sets it apart from mozzarella; mozzarella cannot be frozen.
