Choosing the right pizza cheese is one of the most important decisions a pizzeria or fast-food kitchen makes. It affects melt, stretch, browning, flavour and — crucially — your food cost.
1. Melt and stretch
For that signature cheese pull, look for a shredded mozzarella-style cheese with good moisture balance. Too dry and it won't stretch; too wet and it pools oil.
2. Cost per pizza
Work out your cost per pizza, not just per kilo. A slightly pricier cheese that spreads further can be cheaper in practice.
3. Consistency
Volume kitchens need the same result every single day. Buy from a supplier who keeps consistent stock — like our Cheese Mill Pizza Cheese in 1kg and 2kg packs.
4. Storage
Keep cheese refrigerated and sealed. Shredded cheese has more surface area, so use it within a few days of opening.
