Stracciatella

Stracciatella is a rich and creamy cheese, often used as the filling for Burrata. It is created by shredding fresh mozzarella curds into thin, delicate strands and mixing them with fresh cream to achieve a soft, luscious texture. The name "stracciatella" comes from the Italian word straccia, meaning "shreds" or "rags," which describes its slightly uneven, torn appearance. The result is a creamy, milky cheese with a smooth yet slightly textured consistency, perfect for spreading on bread, adding to salads, or enjoying as a luxurious topping for various dishes. Its mild, buttery flavor and melt-in-your-mouth quality make it a favorite in Italian cuisine.

Luscious, rich & creamy, Stracciatella is perfect on pasta or soups and combines well with chilli in appetisers to provide a balance to the spice. Stracciatella works best in the following dishes:
