Italy has created the longest mozzarella cheese braid in history, with the town of Sala Consilina making a world record cheese braid 78.
8 metres long.
This beats the previous record of 42.
8 metres in 2007, and required four tonnes of milk, half a tonne of curd and 100 kg of salt to make.
There’s no word as to whether they’ll get this into the Guinness Book of records (is there even a category for mozzarella braids?) but it’s just one of many strange but true stories from Italy! Other records include the longest nougat in the world, Italy’s biggest glass of sparkling wine and Italy’s biggest steak.
