All - Dids note about pre-shredded cheese is good; i.e., don't use it. Pre-shredded cheese has a chemical/preservative added to it to prevent the cheese from sticking together/lumping. The additive also prevents the cheese from melting completely. Maybe its just me, but I also find that pre-shredded cheese often tastes funky, too.

Its perfectly easy to buy a 1 lb. block of whole mozzarella, and to shred it yourself using a collander. Then, just put it into a couple of bags and freeze for future servings.

Even better, see if your local supermarket/deli sells fresh mozzarella, and use that.
