Fresh Mozzarella & Burrata-$100.00+fees (GF) [Mineola]

Hand Pulled Fresh Mozzarella & Burrata w/Crostini, Pesto, Tomato Salad

Make everyone’s favorite cheese for yourself*...*The 2016 US per capita consumption of mozzarella is reported at 11.27 pounds; cheddar came in second at 9.6 pounds.

We’ll start with a discussion on sourcing and selecting the cheese curd, [you won't be curdling the milk yourself, that's a science experiment], then dive right into the hot water, literally. You’ll melt the curd in 170-degree salty water and learn how to retrieve it, pull it, stretch it, squeeze it and form it into the perfect ball. Once you’ve mastered that, you’ll make the delicate stuffed version, Burrata.

Just to keep the hands-on Italian experience going, you’ll make the perfect accompaniments including a fresh salad, and pesto variation. Each team  of two people makes 2-3 lbs. of cheese.
