Cheese - Stracciatella 250gm

No order restrictions this week… we’re doing a special trip to the factory so you can get fresh cheese for Christmas !

Made by Dom and his team at La Delizia Latticini in East Victoria Park.

This luscious, creamy super-fresh Bannister Downs Dairy milk cheese is made of shreds of mozzarella mixed with BDD cream. It's also found in the middle of Burrata cheese. 

Very tempting to simply spoon from the container and eat as is (when you receive it, please do this and you'll immediately understand why cheese lovers swoon over it)! It can be used raw or in cooked dishes.

Best eaten within 5 days of receival. Check Use by date shown on container.

Serving Suggestions: 

1. Finely slice pear and mix through straciatella with lightly roasted pecans, lemon juice and zest, salt and lots of rocket leaves for a summery salad.
2. Grill slices of olive oil brushed bread to make toasted smoky bruschetta on the BBQ. Top warm toast with straciatella, lightly salted roasted chopped pistachio nuts and a drizzle of EVOO. Add honey if liked.
3. Dollop on tomato based pasta dishes to bring a creaminess to the dish.
4. Spread straciatella over shallow platter and top with

• Roasted tomatoes, chopped Kalamata olives, fresh basil, and extra virgin olive oil.
• Thinly sliced little courgette that have been seasoned with a smattering of salt and freshly ground black pepper, plus finely chopped preserved lemon, mint and a drizzle of EVOO.
• Keep It Simple Sweetheart and serve drizzled with EVOO and a sprinkling of salt. Serve with crusty warm baguette to dip.
