CAPURSO AZIENDA CASEARIA S.R.L.

In Gioia del Colle, on the Murgia plateau, Capurso Azienda Casearia works with a single denomination: Mozzarella di Gioia del Colle DOP, which encompasses twenty-three municipalities between Bari and Taranto. The milk that fuels production bears the imprint of the calcareous soils and temperate climate of this part of Puglia, conditions that the product specification recognizes as crucial for the cheese's profile. The processing follows the *pasta filata* technique, carried out with raw whole milk and natural lactic ferments—a choice that links each batch to the territory and the season, rather than flattening it into a standardized process. In an area where sheep farming and cheesemaking have gone hand-in-hand for generations, mozzarella becomes the meeting point between local raw materials and stringent production standards. The result is a dairy product that asserts its origin and character, where the crust of DOP certification is not a commercial label but the trace of a geography—plateau, limestone, pastures—found in the daily gestures of the dairy.
