Stracciata is a fresh pasta filata cheese from Molise, Italy, made from cow's milk. The name comes from an Italian verb that means to tear, and the cheese really is pulled into ribbons. Makers fold or braid those ribbons into a loose, flat shape rather than a firm ball. The paste is moist, mild, and meant to be eaten soon after it is made. It sits with mozzarella and other stretched cheeses, but the torn form is its own mark.
