All about stracciatella cheese: what it is and how this delicacy is made
Italian cuisine is known and appreciated all over the world, and one of the reasons is undoubtedly the extremely high quality of the products it is based on, including dairy products such as stracciatella, a rich, creamy delicacy that is excellent both enjoyed on its own and as an ingredient in many dishes.
Let’s find out more about stracciatella cheese: what it is, what ingredients it’s made from, and how it is produced by Latteria Sorrentina, a historic company that has been carrying on the authentic Campanian dairy tradition with care and passion for over five generations.
What is stracciatella cheese? Characteristics and ingredients
Stracciatella is a product that belongs to the category of dairy derivatives. More specifically, it is a thick, creamy dairy product with a delicate flavor.
In particular, Latteria Sorrentina’s stracciatella cheese is made using only top-quality ingredients and is produced with cow’s milk, fresh cream, and shredded pieces of fiordilatte (hence the name “stracciatella”).
What truly distinguishes our Fiordipanna, thicker, creamier, and more indulgent than other stracciatellas, is the higher quantity of shredded fiordilatte mixed into the fresh cream. From the very first taste, this allows you to fully savor the flavor of fiordilatte.
But how is it made? Let’s take a closer look at all the stages in the production of Latteria Sorrentina’s stracciatella.
Stracciatella cheese production: what it is and how it’s made
The main production stages of Latteria Sorrentina’s Fiordipanna are as follows:
- Cow’s milk is heated;
- Rennet is added to the warm milk to make it coagulate;
- The curd is broken to allow the whey to drain;
- The resulting curd is stretched with boiling water;
- The stretched curd is then “shredded” by hand and immersed in cream made from fresh cow’s milk.
