Seasonal Cheeses of Summer

CHEESE LOVERS ALERT!

This just in from Joe Chaput at les amis du Fromage

"The Burrata - Never before at les amis, this buffalo milk cheese comes to us from Puglia in Italy. Similar to buffalo mozza, except that the Burrata has a filling of fresh curd and cream from the whey. The texture is creamy and rich, and is one of the best new cheeses I've tasted in a while. Grab some ripe tomatoes, crusty bread and a bottle of your favorite Italian red. Don't leave any leftovers. Price: $29.50 / 500 g Very limited supply"

les amis is also currently stocking for a limited time the Robiola - a soft ripened goats cheese only available in the summer months, a related Robiola that is wrapped in cabbage leaves; and a fresh chevre with tuffles from France.
