Stracciatella

Stracciatella is a term used in Italian cuisine to refer to three different types of food: a soup, a cheese, and a gelato flavor.

Stracciatella Soup

Stracciatella soup is a traditional Italian soup made with broth, eggs, and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. The name "stracciatella" comes from the Italian word "stracciato," which means "torn apart." This refers to the shredded or "torn" eggs in the soup. The soup is typically served hot and is a popular dish in Italian households, particularly during the winter months.

Stracciatella Cheese

Stracciatella cheese is a type of Italian cheese made from buffalo milk. It is a soft, creamy cheese that is often used as a filling for mozzarella cheese. The cheese is made by mixing the creamy part of the milk (the "straccia") with fresh cream. The result is a rich, creamy cheese with a delicate flavor.

Stracciatella Gelato

Stracciatella gelato is a popular Italian ice cream flavor. It is made by combining vanilla or cream gelato with thin shavings of dark chocolate. The chocolate is added to the gelato in a liquid state, which causes it to harden and break up into small pieces when it comes into contact with the cold gelato. The result is a creamy gelato with a crunchy chocolate texture.
