What is stracciatella formaggio?

Stracciatella formaggio, also known as stracciatella di bufala, is a creamy cheese made from Italian buffalo milk. The cheese is made by hand, where the curds are stretched and then filled with a mixture of cream and soft cheese. The result is a soft and creamy cheese with a delicate taste and a smooth texture. It is commonly used as a topping for pizza or in salads, or simply enjoyed on its own. Stracciatella formaggio is one of the main ingredients used in the popular Italian dish, Caprese salad. It pairs well with fresh tomatoes, fresh basil, and extra virgin olive oil. This cheese is not to be confused with stracciatella soup, which is a classic Italian soup made with chicken broth and beaten eggs.
