During a trip to Firenze last September, I was introduced to the delicacy they call Burrata.
"Burrata is a fresh Italian cheese, made from mozzarella and cream. The outer shell is solid mozzarella while the inside contains both mozzarella and cream, giving it an unusual, soft texture. It is usually served fresh, at room temperature. The name "burrata" means "buttered" in Italian." (credit Wikipedia)
This stuff gets flown in from Italy once every two weeks and yesterday's batch had just arrived!
Happily I was wearing my Portuguese 2000 yesterday for the unveiling, so I hope this post still qualifies as 'relevant' on the Forum, LOL!!
MF, if it's not, I would understand if it gets zapped!
