Looks like
mozarella / mozzarella
in English, 'mozzarella' is often used for the low-moisture shredded pizza cheese
⚠️ The trap
The mozzarella you find in Italian supermarkets is fresh, soft, and milky — sold in water in bags. The 'mozzarella' on most American frozen pizzas is a low-moisture yellow shredded cheese. They share a name but are completely different products.
To say "in English, 'mozzarella' is often used for the low-moisture shredded pizza cheese" in Italian:
mozzarella (fresh soft cheese) / mozzarella di bufala (buffalo milk version)
"mozzarella" in English means:
a fresh white Italian cheese made from buffalo or cow milk
Example
"La caprese è fatta con mozzarella, pomodoro e basilico."
"Caprese is made with mozzarella, tomato and basil."
