I work in the Cheese shop at Wegmans Grocery store. We sell Bel Gioioso Burrata Cheese. I just watched your program on how its made. I also LOVED the two recipes associated with it. I cant wait to educate our customers about this cheese and pass on your amazing recipes. Thank you very much. I love your program!

The Wegmans at King of Prussia, Pa., also sells burrata, but this one is Dibuffala Burrata, described as grass-fed fresh mozzarella with stracciatella, water buffalo milk and cow’s cream. Type burrata in Mary Ann’s search box for several recipes. I found burrata in the book Italian Cheeses, Two Hundred Traditional Types (2000) , but no recipes there. For her recipe with a cauliflower crust, put the burrata on only after cooking, or in the last minute. I think Joe Beddia would do that.
