FIFTH GENERATION · HAMDEN, CONNECTICUT

Loaves & Shredded

Built for the kitchen and built to melt — our loaf and shredded formats bring the same fresh mozzarella tradition into the shapes that chefs and home cooks rely on every day.

How It's Made

This format starts with the same pasta filata stretching process used for our fresh mozzarella, but is shaped differently to suit high-volume kitchen use. Rather than being formed into individual balls, the stretched curd is shaped into large loaves, which are then sliced, diced, or shredded depending on the intended use — from pizza toppings to deli slicing.

Flavor & Texture

Mild, clean, and consistent in flavor, with a texture engineered for performance: shredded formats melt evenly and stretch well, while loaf-cut slices hold their shape for layering.

Serving Suggetions

Shredded cheese is built for melting — pizza, baked pasta, casseroles, and anywhere even, consistent coverage matters. Loaf-cut mozzarella slices cleanly for sandwiches, paninis, and deli use, and holds up well to grilling or baking without breaking down too quickly.

Pairings

Less about delicate pairing and more about performance: this format shines in composed dishes — pizza, baked ziti, stuffed shells, and grilled sandwiches — where its melt and stretch do the work.
