Fiordilatte Braid 3 kg — GIFF

GIFF Fiordilatte Braid 3 kg – Quick Overview

Hand-braided cow's milk fiordilatte from Caseificio Giffoniello in Montecorvino Rovella (Salerno), in the historic Mozzarella di Bufala DOP area of Campania. Format treccia 3 kg, designed for gastronomy display, fresh cutting service and high-impact pizza topping.

La Treccia: Tradizione Campana

The treccia is the "deli counter" format of Campania fior di latte: the pasta filata is hand-braided by the cheesemaker while still warm into 3-strand braids reminiscent of braided Jewish breads. With origins documented in 18th-century Campania dairies, it is the typical format of traditional delicatessens for fresh slicing in front of the customer. Caseificio Giffoniello has been operating in the DOP area of Mozzarella di Bufala Campana DOP for generations, with its dedicated cow's milk line.

Usi Professionali e Servizio

Deli display counter: knife-cut into chunks in front of the customer, paired with Pachino IGP tomato, fresh basil, and Cilento DOP EVO oil. Gala Caprese: 80-100 g per portion cut into slices. Signature round pizza (Sorbillo, Sgambati, Padoan style): 100 g per pizza, added halfway through baking, melts into "islands" and maintains its structure. Hotel buffet starter: cut into thick slices with San Daniele DOP prosciutto crudo. Gourmet salads with rocket, walnuts, and pomegranate. Never bake above 280 °C, as it releases too much whey and loses its braided shape.
