Stracciatella (pronounced strahtch-ah- TELL-ah), is an extremely rare cheese to find in the U.S. yet incredibly delicious. This soft, fresh cheese may be best known as the delicious center of burrata. It is soft, pillowy and incredibly versatile. Like so many peasant foods, was born as a clever way to use leftovers, in this case the pieces of cheese that remain after mozzarella is stretched. Cheesemakers in Puglia, used to tore those pieces into thin strands and bathed them in cream. Stracciatella was served just like that, or stuffed inside new balls of mozzarella and called burrata
