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.

Shredded mozzarella (113 g per cup) is lighter than bocconcini (230 g per cup) because fresh balls retain more moisture.
