Hello,

Hello there,
so fine to read appreciations of my beloved region! I am Pugliese though I¡ve been living in Madrid for three years now. All of us overe there are quite ‘sciovinists’ when it comes to fresh cheese and mozzarella in particular…every single family has its own favoured shop/maker! And of course it’s a peculiar and at times ‘hot’ topic when
people have meals together ;) . Anyway, best mozzarella to be found @ Fratelli Curci, Gioia del Colle (BARI). I’d kill right now for a couple of their burratine…

@Jeff – I would say they at least originated in Puglia…if they are “imported” up north they have a Pugliese brand or affiliation on it. But shapes are becoming more universal.

I wish I could go to more sagre! I wouldn’t mind going to a mozzarella one every week :)

We had Caprese in Florence made with what appeared to be fresh Mozzarella and it was glorious. Since then I get in need of a Caprese fix so I run down the local Italian Market and buy the packaged stuff and fresh tomatoes. Eating it usually consists of my wife and I hunched over the plate and devouring it with our hands in about a minute or two.

Still it is not the same as that night in Florence.
