Burrata
Gioia is a family creamery in Los
Angeles, California that specializes in Italian cheeses made from Vito Girardi's family recipes. Gioia is famous throughout the L.A.-area as a
prominent cheese maker, who supplies their wares to a wide range of upscale
local restaurants.
Because cream and the remnants of
Mozzarella are combined in a baglike expanse of pulled curd to make this
sumptuous cheese, Burrata is known as a pasta filata (pulled or spun
curd) cheese. The curd is then twisted to fully enclose the fresh cheese.
Burrata is creamy and rich and should be eaten within a few days of being
purchased.
