  Mozzarella Cheese - Glossary - Hormel Foods
Mozzarella cheese is produced as a semi-soft fresh cheese or a firm block of cheese made with low or non-fat milk.
The stretched curd, sometimes sold as "string cheese" although it is technically not string cheese, is another form of the cheese that is not encased in water and is similar to the block form in texture, flavor and salt content.
Mozzarella cheese is also available unsmoked, smoked lightly (known as affumicata) or dried and heavily smoked (known as scamorza).

Mozzarella is a fresh cheese, consumed without aging and so milk used must be pasteurized to ensure the safety of the cheese.
Mozzarella is a cheese that is high in moisture and fairly high in lactose since some whey is retained, the starter organisms are inhibited and also there is no aging time (where moisture would evaporate and lactose would be converted to lactic acid).
Some mozzarellas have more of their whey removed (casein coagulum is cut and warmed rather than just cut) resulting in a final cheese with a lower moisture content.
