Continuing my love affair with black figs and soft fresh cheese, this time it is fresh burrata. I cannot say enough about this delighful, fresh, light and summer lunch. It is to die for! The burrata must be fresh and must be from a source which either makes burrata or imports burrata. You know you have the real thing when you cut into the burrata and the fresh cream overflows the edges, sublime!
Tip : Fiesta Farms has fresh burrata, but be sure to go on the day that the recieve their delivery. I have yet to try Eataly and Whole Foods as they also have fresh burrata.
