burrata

1st time trying burrata...where have we been?

This cheese is creamy, buttery...so so good!

Recently I saw some at Kaldi (an import food store) and at the time didn't buy it, but when I went on Saturday, I picked one up.

It was frozen, so I thawed it out.

Since it is a fresh cheese, it has to be frozen to make the trip overseas...

I sliced it and put it onto some tomatoes.

Drizzled it with olive oil.

Put some basil.

And ground a little pepper.

I'm glad we tried this and have heard that some Japanese cheese makers are making burrata, so I will keep my eye to try their version.

Have you tried burrata? What is your favorite way to enjoy this?

  3. it's just incredible that it's being shipped over there! and now that I know it can be frozen, I might try that myself (for when there's a promo and I can't pass it up). ^-^

  4. Thanks Jalna!

    Rowena, FYI the burrata I bought wasn't wrapped in rennet as I read most burrata is on Wikipedia...dunno if without the rennet makes freezing easier...

    Take care you two.
