The difference

183 kcal

Both are fresh, soft cheeses with a fair bit of fat. Feta is salty and crumbly, so a little goes a long way; mozzarella is mild and you tend to eat the whole ball in a caprese.

Weigh the same amount and they are level: 50 g of mozzarella is about 125 kcal, against 130 for feta. The ball just has more than twice as much cheese in it.

On a salad, half a ball of mozzarella is about 157 kcal. In Caltype just type "greek salad with feta".
