Treccia

(Trecce di mozzarella)

Treccia is a traditional mozzarella-style cheese. This mozzarella variation is characterized by its braided shape and shiny surface. The cheese is made from pasteurized cow's milk or sometimes with water buffalo's milk. The texture is stringy, elastic, and soft, while the flavors are fresh, delicate, and milky.


The cheese is typically sold in its own brine. Treccia di mozzarella is often enjoyed on its own or served with cold cuts and fresh vegetables.
