Big Mozz, maker of the first-ever premium mozzarella stick, announces the launch of Big Mozz Nuggets, a new bite-sized, shareable and poppable way to enjoy the best-tasting mozzarella stick out there!

Well, that impressed New York City's most discerning foodies who kept coming back for more at the food festivals, arenas and stadiums that Big Mozz Sticks were being served up at. Freezer to oven (or air fryer) for bite-sized crispy, cheesy goodness in minutes!
