Hand Pulled Fresh Mozzarella & Burrata w/Crostini, Pesto, Tomato Salad
Craft everyone's favorite cheese yourself! Did you know that in 2016, US per capita consumption of mozzarella soared to 11.27 pounds, with cheddar a distant second at 9.6 pounds?
We'll commence our culinary adventure with an insightful discussion on sourcing and selecting the finest cheese curd. (Don't worry, we'll skip the science experiment of curdling milk from scratch!) Then, prepare to plunge directly into the hot water—literally! You'll master the art of melting curd in 170-degree salted water, learning the precise techniques to retrieve, pull, stretch, squeeze, and form it into exquisite, perfect balls. Once you've perfected this foundational skill, you'll advance to crafting the delicate, creamy stuffed version: Burrata.
To elevate your hands-on Italian experience, you'll also prepare delightful accompaniments, including a vibrant fresh salad and a tantalizing pesto variation. Each team of two will proudly produce 2-3 lbs. of artisanal cheese.
