  • A tablespoon here is the 15 ml metric standard, about 16.67 to a metric cup, the same size as a UK tablespoon. A US tablespoon is smaller at 14.79 ml, so US cooks measuring with US spoons need slightly more. An Australian tablespoon is larger at 20 ml, so it holds about a third more.

  • One metric tablespoon of mozzarella weighs about 6.8 grams. A US tablespoon (14.79 ml) holds about 6.7 grams and an Australian tablespoon (20 ml) about 9 grams.
  • A little over or under won't ruin the bake, though it can nudge the final taste or colour.

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.

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 what 1 ounce of bocconcini is in tablespoons.
