Stracciatella is a luxurious Italian cheese known for its creamy, delicate texture and rich, milky flavor. Originating from the region of Puglia, this cheese is a key ingredient in the famous Burrata cheese, where it forms the soft, sumptuous filling. The name "Stracciatella" comes from the Italian word "stracciare," meaning "to shred" or "to tear," which perfectly describes the cheese's unique composition. It consists of shredded mozzarella strands mixed with thick, luscious cream, resulting in a stringy, creamy delight that melts in your mouth.
