Mozzarella Measurement Converter
Use the tool below to convert mozzarella from the measurements in your recipe to the measurements that you need.
Mozzarella is a soft, stretchy Italian cheese with a mild flavour and excellent melting properties. One metric cup (250 ml) of shredded mozzarella weighs around 113 grams or 3.99 ounces. When a recipe calls for shredded mozzarella by volume, measuring by grams gives a more consistent result, as how finely the cheese is shredded affects how much fits in a cup.
Shredded mozzarella is light and airy, so a loosely packed cup and a firmly packed one can differ by 15 grams or more. Measuring in grams removes that guesswork and keeps pizza toppings and baked gratins consistent.

Related Mozzarella Ingredients
Parmesan is a hard, aged Italian cheese used for grating, while mozzarella is soft and mild. Parmesan adds sharp, salty depth; mozzarella melts smoothly. They serve different purposes and are rarely interchangeable in recipes. See our Parmesan Cheese converter.
Halloumi is a firm, salty cheese that holds its shape when grilled or fried, while mozzarella is soft and melts readily. Both are mild but behave very differently under heat. See our Halloumi converter.
Bocconcini are small fresh mozzarella balls: the same cheese in a different form. Shredded mozzarella (113 g per cup) is lighter than bocconcini (230 g per cup) because fresh balls retain more moisture. Use bocconcini whole in salads and as a pizza topping; use shredded mozzarella when you need even coverage. See our Bocconcini converter.
