Ostuni
In Puglia, cheese is for eating every day; relatively simple but strong and immensely gratifying, eaten as antipasto, atop pasta, or in their panino, traditionally made for taking to work in the fields.
The most famous cheese to hail from the fertile lands of Puglia is cheese-of-the-moment burrata.
Despite burrata’s cult status, it has humble origins as a product made from the leftovers of mozzarella production.
Torn strips of leftover mozzarella mixed with fresh double cream (stracciatella) and ladled into a tougher outer sack, also made from mozzarella, and tied, creating this pride of Puglia that the western world has fallen in love with.
Far from the creamy haze of burrata is ricotta forte, a less famous but locally loved regional cheese.
