Cagliata Cheese (Curd)

Cagliata is the raw, unfinished cheese curd produced after milk coagulates and whey is drained. Formed into neutral blocks or curds right after milk separation, it has not undergone the hot-water stretching process, and is used primarily as an industrial or commercial intermediate base for cheese-making — a firm to slightly elastic block or curd with a mild, milky, and lightly acidic taste.
