Stracciatella di bufala

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fresh water buffalo cheese

Stracciatella di bufala is a cheese produced from the milk of Italian buffalo in the Italian province of Foggia.[1] It is a fresh cheese, white in colour, and made in the pasta filata style.[1][2]

The cheese is made the whole year round, but is thought to be at its best during the spring and summer months.[1]

This stracciatella (not to be confused with the soup stracciatella, although in both cases the reference is to the torn, ragged texture) is unusual in that buffalo herds and the cheeses made from their milk are much more common over on the western side of the Apennines in Lazio and Campania.
