Cheddar and Mozzarella Provide Similar Protein but Differ in Fat and Lactose

Cheddar and mozzarella have similar protein content according to the information reported by EDairyNews Español. A serving of either cheese supplies between 6 and 8 grams of protein.

The two cheeses also provide comparable amounts of calcium. Each serving contains about 200 milligrams of the mineral.

The differences described concern calories and fat. Mozzarella generally has lower amounts of both than cheddar.

Lactose content varies between the cheeses. Aged cheddar may contain less lactose than mozzarella, according to the comparison.

The comparison therefore identifies no clear difference in protein between the two cheeses within the stated serving range. It distinguishes them instead by their usual calorie and fat levels and by the potentially lower lactose content of aged cheddar.
