Burrata
This is a stretched or “pasta filata” cheese produced by the method similar to that of mozzarella, yet quite different as the hand technique is specific to create a ‘pocket’ containing a luxurious filling made with the cream from the whey. Burrata actually means “buttered” in Italian, and the smooth texture easily conjures up this description.
How To Enjoy:
This cheese is an experience unlike no other. Eat on its own at room temperature or add as the centerpiece to a tossed plate of avocado, tomatoes and a splash of olive oil. Also excellent when sharing the stage with prosciutto or saucisse. Serve with a Primitivo di Mandurio, a California Zinfandel, or with a white Moscato di Trani also from the Puglia region.
