Story
Garofalo Burrata is made from 100% Buffalo milk. The exterior is semi-firm with a soft, creamy stracciatella centre (stretched cheese curd) with the addition of fresh cream. The outer layer of Burrata cheese is made similarly to mozzarella, by stretching the curd. This is formed into small pouches which are filled with the Stracciatella, then knotted to retain the soft centre. Burrata is stored in brine and is best eaten as fresh as possible to enjoy the texture. Older burrata are still great to cook with.
Producer
In 1962, the Garofalo family purchased their first farmland in Capua Italy and began breeding Mediterranean buffalo. Their cheeses are made using traditional techniques and made in the original bufalare – a typical round masonry structure in which fresh milk was transformed into mozzarella, caciocavallo, provola and ricotta. The Garofalo family care for the welfare and nutrition of their buffaloes every single day. Everything starts within their seven farms where their animals are free to roam over 3,100 hectares of fertile land, where they cultivate corn, wheat, barley, oats, medicinal herbs, triticale, and ryegrass. The care taken of the land, the buffalo and the cheese making process is evident in the cheeses they produce.
