BUFFALO MILK
BURRATA
Deca & Otto
Colombia
Small-scale farmers have
been raising water buffalo
in Colombia's lush northern
prairies for generations,
and Deca and Otto works
with producers raising 100
percent grass-fed
herds to produce their
line of fresh cheese, yogurt,
and dulce de leche. Their
WCCC Best of Class
burrata—a pillowy layer
of hand-stretched buffalo
mozzarella encasing delicate,
creamy stracciatella—
highlights the flavors of
those lush pastures. Photos:

RICOTTA DI BUFALA
Calabro Cheese Corp.
East Haven, Conn.
Some of our most sought-after culinary treasures are
byproducts of other foods, and tender, versatile ricotta is no
exception. Like ricotta made from cow's milk cheese, whey
from buffalo mozzarella is mixed with a portion of whole milk
and heated to extract protein. But unlike cow's milk ricotta,
this buffalo milk version—an ACS First Place winner—offers
nearly twice as much fat, creating an incredibly lush, cloudlike
cheese with sweet, citrusy notes.
BUFFALO MILK
BURRATA + SPICY
CHILI CRISP
This pairing is all about
contrast—crunchy
and tender, spicy and
cooling, sweet and
umami. Sometimes
it's fun to play with
extremes, and this
versatile Chinese
condiment plays
up the soft, delicate
qualities of the burrata
as well as its power
to temper big, fiery
flavors. Add a slice
of cantaloupe and a
dash of micro cilantro
to create an enticing
summer appetizer.
The only thing we love more
than making cheese is sharing
it with friends.
