Is Fresh Mozzarella High in Histamine?

Low in histamine when very fresh — one of the safer cheeses. Because fresh mozzarella is eaten young rather than aged, it has had little time to build up histamine, making it one of the better-tolerated cheeses on a low-histamine diet. Freshness is everything here: buy it close to the make date and eat it the same day, since histamine climbs once the cheese sits open in the fridge.
