If you need a quick, delicious snack that feels a little fancy without any effort, Trader Joe’s Prosciutto-Wrapped Fresh Mozzarella is a winner. It’s literally just creamy mozzarella wrapped in salty, savory prosciutto, and somehow, that simple combo makes it feel super indulgent. We absolutely love these! My son even takes them in his school lunchbox, and I always have a pack in the fridge for an easy grab-and-go snack.
Taste and Texture
It’s exactly what you’d expect—soft, fresh mozzarella with a super smooth, milky texture, wrapped in salty, slightly chewy prosciutto. The prosciutto isn’t too overpowering, so it doesn’t take away from the cheese. If you love simple, high-quality ingredients, this one’s a no-brainer.
Best Ways to Enjoy
These are so good straight out of the pack, but here’s how I love using them:
- In lunchboxes – Perfect for a high-protein, no-mess snack.
- On a charcuterie board – I love pairing them with Creminelli meats from Costco, some crackers, and a little honey for contrast. Goes well with Santa Julia Cuy Malbec Wine!
- Sliced in salads – If I’m feeling fancy, I chop them up and throw them into a salad for a quick protein boost. Add it to Trader Joe’s Pearl Couscous Salad with Chicken or Trader Joe’s Mediterranean Style Orzo Pasta Salad for extra protein boost.
- Wrapped in basil – A quick extra touch that makes them feel even more like an Italian appetizer.
