'Frischkäse' and 'Mozzarella' are both types of cheese that do not ripen for long. That is why they can be confused. However, 'Frischkäse' is a general term and often means a soft, spreadable cheese that you put on bread or use for cooking. 'Mozzarella' is a specific Italian type of fresh cheese. It is usually available in balls, is soft, and is often used for salad, pizza, or hot dishes. Every mozzarella is a type of Frischkäse, but not every Frischkäse is mozzarella.
