Stretching curd, then braiding by hand
In Caseificio Artigiana’s account, curd worked with boiling water becomes a fibrous, elastic mass ready for shaping. Its fresh treccia is braided by hand, and the dairy links that woven shape to the cheese’s more fibrous texture. Artigiana presents this treccia as part of the Puglian tradition.
