Publication note
Published as a product profile: validated sources do not fully document ingredients and/or method details.
What it is
Elongated, flattened cow-milk mozzarella/stracciata packed in fresh myrtle fronds, tied into bunches with broom twigs.
Origin place card
Lower Cilento — Salerno. Use a territory-level page unless later fieldwork proves a narrower comune-only origin.
Verified history
Historical depth remains limited; the direct-read source supports identity/core product description but not deeper archival history.
Ingredients
Ingredients not fully documented in validated sources.
Method
Method/process not fully documented in validated sources.
Why travel for it
A Cilento road page: unwrap the cheese and the hillside plant is literally pressed into it.
Recreate-it pathway
Do not invent a home recipe. Build a future tested/kitchen note from producer interviews, safe temperatures, maturation limits and modern hygiene rules; for now publish source-backed process only.
Fieldwork questions
Document the exact lower-Cilento comuni and whether broom twigs are still used.
Photo brief
