Mozzarella burrata



 If there is a God, I think He will eat this mozzarella everyday for lunch. The mozzarella burrata (burrata means literally "buttered") comes originally from the southern Puglia region. The mozzarella has a firm outside and on the inside it is very very creamy (as you can see on the picture). Best is to add as little as possible to this mozzarella. A few slices of  a good tomato (like the italian San Marzano as I use on the picture) and a few leaves of basil or a few slices of spring onion will do the job. You even don't need to add  any olive oil.  You can even eat it just like this, but maybe this more for the pigs among us. Anyway eating this mozzarella is as if "an angel pisses on your tongue" (a Dutch expression).  In Genève you can find this cheese at Manor (my favorite supermarket ever). And as all good things in life, this mozzarella doesn't come cheap: 3,65 per 100 grammes.
