About The Product
Puglia Cheese Stracciatella is the creamy inner filling of burrata, made available as a standalone product — shreds of hand-pulled Fior di Latte mozzarella soaked in fresh sweet cream, produced at Puglia Cheese's artisan facility in Somerset West from 100% South African milk. Stracciatella sits at the richest, most indulgent end of the fresh mozzarella family: looser and far creamier than a mozzarella ball, it has a soft, spoonable consistency and a flavour that is milky, fresh, and gently sweet with the characteristic richness of double cream running through it.
A premium finishing cheese for restaurant and deli applications, stracciatella has grown steadily in popularity on restaurant menus as chefs have discovered its versatility as a topping and finishing element. It requires no preparation — simply spooned directly onto the dish at the point of service. Supplied in a 500g tub, it suits fine dining kitchens, premium delis, and specialty food retailers across Cape Town and the Western Cape looking for a locally produced, artisan Italian-style finishing cheese with genuine craft provenance behind it.
About Puglia Cheese
Puglia Cheese was founded in Cape Town in 2010 by three Italian friends from the Puglia region, driven by a simple ambition: to bring authentic Italian mozzarella craft to South Africa. What began as a small artisan dairy quickly earned recognition, winning multiple awards at the South African Dairy Championships and becoming the first producer of burrata in the country.
Every cheese in the Puglia range is made by hand using traditional Italian methods, from fresh Fior di Latte and burrata to scamorza, ricotta, and a dedicated pizza mozzarella. Locally produced but authentically Italian in character, Puglia Cheese brings genuine artisan dairy quality to professional kitchens and retailers across South Africa.
