This treccione cheese is an artisanal Italian fresh cheese made from cow’s milk and shaped by hand into an elegant braided form. Unlike traditional mozzarella balls, treccione is carefully woven, creating a distinctive structure that gives the cheese a slightly spongy, layered texture while maintaining its signature elasticity. The braid not only makes for a striking presentation, but also subtly changes the mouthfeel, offering gentle resistance with each bite.
With its high moisture content, mozzarella treccione has a firmer texture and milder flavor than buffalo mozzarella, yet remains creamy and clean on the palate. Its porcelain-white color reflects its freshness, while the delicate dairy notes make it an excellent canvas for simple pairings. Served at room temperature, the cheese softens beautifully and reveals its full, milky character.
Mozzarella treccione is ideal for slicing and sharing, making it a standout centerpiece on cheese boards and antipasti platters. It pairs effortlessly with ripe tomatoes, fresh herbs, extra virgin olive oil, and flaky sea salt, and can also be torn and added to salads, pasta dishes, or warm bread. Enjoy it with crisp white wines, light-bodied Italian reds, or sparkling wines that complement its subtle richness.
