Italian Burrata

How may I serve thee, let me count the ways.

Burrata means “buttered” in Italian and is really rich. It is fresh cheese at its best. Burrata resembles a ball of mozzarella, but when you take a closer look you will find this round of cheese is softer, and when cut, has an interior that spills out, revealing soft, stringy curd and fresh cream.

Herma’s serving suggestion…

Keep it Simple

Dust Burrata with freshly ground pepper and herbs and drizzle with olive oil. Serve on top of grilled baguette slices.

Burratta’s milky mildness also lends itself well to acidic, flavorful foods.  Pair with prosciutto, roasted tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, olive tapenade or pesto. Also pairs well with fruits.

Italian Buffalo Mozzarella DOP

Buffalo or not buffalo, that is the question.

Buffalo Mozzarella is creamier, softer, and far more flavorful than that of cow’s milk cheese with a tanginess and depth of flavor that is all its own. This can be attributed to water buffalo milk’s high fat content — nearly double that of cow’s milk. It’s primarily produced in the hills around Naples where water buffalo are most plentiful.

Herma’s Serving Suggestions…

Buffalo Mozzarella on Baguette 

Top Manoucher Baguette slices with buffalo mozzarella and broil the slices in the oven. Top with your favourite Salt Spring Kitchen spread.

Buffalo Mozzarella on Greens

Cut mozzarella in cubes. Coat with pesto and olive oil. Marinate at least 30 minutes before placing cubes on slices of cucumber, bell pepper and endive or radicchio leaves. Best served on the same day it is made.

Buffalo Mozzarella may also be enjoyed as a Caprese Salad (with tomato and fresh basil), on pizza and in pasta, omelets and casseroles.
