Mozzarella and bocconcini are the same cheese in different forms: bocconcini are small fresh balls, while shredded mozzarella is a packaged, shredded version. Shredded mozzarella (113 g per cup) is lighter than bocconcini (230 g per cup), as fresh balls retain more moisture. See our Mozzarella converter.
