Natural Recipe
Just Milk, Salt, Rennet and Milk ferments in our Bella Molisana mozzarellas.
Our Mozzarella is slow
Some 16 hours of work to make our mozzarella: with just milk ferments.
Craftsmanship
We stretch the curd, tie the mozzarella braids and knots and shape the heads of the scamorza like in the old days.
A Long History of Freshness and Tradition from Molise
Bella Molisana has always made its dairy products following the traditions of Molise. Craftmanship with just a few simple, natural ingredients, following traditional recipes.
A long production time lies at the heart of Bella Molisana craftsmanship: 16 hours of work… just the right time for the milk ferments to allow the maturation of the milk that then gives rise to the stretched curd.
The stretching and tying of the mozzarella braids and knots, and making the heads of dried scamorza cheese, are also manual: all thanks to the talent of our skilled cheese-makers. Only in this way can Bella Molisana always guarantee the high quality of its fresh products.
A freshness on which our customers can always count, excellent organization and efficient distribution network ensuring Bella Molisana reaches all the points of sale within a few hours of production.

A MOLISE STORY
Bella Molisana was born in Campochiaro, a small village of just over 600 inhabitants located at the foot of the Matese mountain range, a pure, unspoiled place from where it takes its purist ingredient: water. Bella Molisana is made with Matese spring waters found close to our factory.
A VERY HEALTY RECIPE
Our mozzarella is slow and our label of ingredients is very small! Because Bella Molisana products are as simple and natural as the carefully chosen ingredients: milk, salt (just the right amount!), rennet and milk ferments.

Mozzarella is a part of the Molise culture. The air, water, nature and the experience behind choosing the right moment for the curdling, the way of stretching, tying mozzarella braids and knots, are all precious, typically Molise ingredients. Simple. Natural.
