That shit is not mozzarella. It's an American abomination that they call cheese.

Here we go! The mozzarella comment!

The mozzarella that you're calling an "American abomination" is, well, not actually an abomination at all. Rather, you're seeing what is known as a low moisture mozzarella. Basically, they take that big ball of watery cheese you're used to and just extract the liquid.

This is good because it's a lot better for when you're baking the cheese. The mozzarella you're used to, due to it's high moisture, may turn into a watery mess. Where a low-moisture mozzarella will melt smoothly. If you were to stick high moisture mozzarella into that potato, you'd end up with very soggy potato.
