Caseificio Stella Dicecca is a family-run artisanal dairy based in Altamura, in the Puglia region of southern Italy, deeply rooted in the area’s long-standing cheesemaking tradition and the use of milk sourced from the Murgia Barese. Production is carried out in small batches, with a strong focus on freshness, raw material quality, and carefully controlled processes rather than industrial scale.

The dairy is particularly known for its fresh cheeses, such as mozzarella and burrata, including truffle variations, characterized by a pronounced milky aroma, delicate structure, and naturally short shelf life typical of authentic Apulian products. The range also includes goat’s milk cheeses, from soft and spreadable styles to blue cheeses made with selected noble molds, aimed at a more discerning audience.

Traditional natural fermentation methods, including the use of siero innesto, contribute to deeper flavor profiles and improved digestibility. Stella Dicecca successfully combines traditional techniques with modern quality standards without compromising the identity of its products.

Its cheeses are closely tied to the terroir and food culture of Puglia, while also finding recognition within the international gourmet scene.
