About this recipe

Stracciatella is made of soft ribbons of stretched curd soaked in cream. It is a fresh cheese in its own right and the classic filling for burrata. The texture is soft and loose, with distinct strands visible in the creamy base. Knowing how to make stracciatella at home also gives you half of the burrata technique.

What the guide covers

The recipe covers preparing the curd, tearing it into strands or ribbons and adding cream, followed by chilling and resting. Serve stracciatella with bread, tomatoes or pasta, or make it as your first step towards burrata. Keep it in the fridge and enjoy it while it is fresh.
