Country: Canada
Type: Mozzarella/Bocconcini
Today we have an amazing treat, it's a fresh soft mozzarella style cheese from Canada called Burrata, made by Santa Luchia. This version was made here in Canada, but I'm sure there are local versions all over the place. Normally I consider mozzarella something like cottage cheese, boring and useful for a crispy toping on something flavourful. Burrata though was a surprise, it had the typical chewy mozzarella outside but buried in the middle of the cheese was this amazing creamy slightly salty slightly sweet creamy awesomeness.
This cheese would be awesome melted on anything, and I ate it straight paired with some tiny olives and some sausage. Great for a salad, great for pasta. A really excellent cheese.
