Fresh Stracciatella with Truffles Cheese

This truffle-infused cheese is an indulgent Italian specialty that combines delicate strands of stretched mozzarella curd with fresh cream, enriched by the unmistakable aroma of truffles. Originating in Puglia, stracciatella is best known as the creamy heart of burrata, prized for its luxurious, spoonable texture and clean, milky flavor. The addition of truffles introduces earthy, savory depth that enhances the cheese without overpowering its natural freshness.

This cheese is at its best when enjoyed simply. Spoon it over warm focaccia, pizza bianca, or grilled sourdough, or use it to finish fresh pasta, risotto, or softly scrambled eggs. It also pairs beautifully with roasted mushrooms, grilled vegetables, or thinly sliced prosciutto and other mild cured meats. A drizzle of high-quality extra virgin olive oil is often all that’s needed to highlight its richness.

Serve fresh stracciatella with truffles slightly chilled or at cool room temperature, and enjoy promptly while the texture is at its silkiest. Its creamy profile and aromatic truffle notes pair especially well with crisp white wines such as Vermentino or Chardonnay, or with elegant sparkling wines that balance the richness and lift the flavors.
