Bocconcini Measurement Converter
Use the tool below to convert bocconcini from the measurements in your recipe to the measurements that you need.
Bocconcini are small, egg-shaped balls of fresh mozzarella with a soft, milky texture and a mild flavour. One metric cup (250 ml) of bocconcini weighs around 230 grams or 8.11 ounces. When a recipe calls for bocconcini by volume, measuring by grams gives a more reliable result than filling a measuring cup, as the balls pack differently depending on their size.
Bocconcini are sold by weight in most delis and supermarkets, so knowing the gram-to-cup conversion helps you buy the right amount for salads, pizzas, and baked dishes without waste.

Mozzarella
Shredded mozzarella and bocconcini are the same cheese in different forms. Shredded mozzarella (113 g per cup) is lighter than bocconcini (230 g per cup) because fresh balls retain more moisture. Measure by weight rather than volume for consistent results. Shredded mozzarella works best when you need even melting coverage; use bocconcini whole or halved when presentation matters.
