hi everyone,
I am new to forum and fairly new to cheese making.  I only make mozzarella and ricotta -for now!  I really want to make Burratta cheese,has anyone made this and if so can you give some pointers?
thanks

Welcome flowy !!
Here is a nice right up;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burrata

thank you Neil.  That was a nice write up and interesting site that for future reference.  I just wish I could find out if the cream is cooked or whipped first or not,that is the only part i am unsure of but the most important.

Hey Flowy,  Welcome to the forum and to cheese making.  Here’s hoping you branch out into lots of different cheeses.  Be sure to share your experiences with us so we can all profit from them.

Thank you so much.  I am anticipating learning alot from all of you!  I really want to get into some hard cheeses,I am a bit afraid of it though.  All of you here are a definate inspiration…

I know what you mean by being afraid of moving into hard cheeses; I was reluctant myself and put if off for quite a while.  But one day you’ll decide to take the plunge, and you’ll find that its very much like cooking.  You just follow the recipe one step at a time.  Technique will come with experience, and even your failures will likely taste pretty good.

Welcome! I don’t know about the cream being cooked or not, as I haven’t tried making it either, but if you make it I recommend making a big big batch. I recently discovered burratta and think maybe it’s one of those things that exists in the world to test my powers of restraint. The concept is just too yummy: CREAM surrounded by CHEESE: yes, please! Make enough to share with your friends who will be knocking on your door ready to eat it all.
