All about fresh mozzarella: bocconcini & fior di latte:

The word “bocconcini” means “small mouthfuls” in Italian. Bocconcini originated in Napoli, Italy. They are fresh, soft balls of unaged mozzarella made from cow’s milk.

Fior di Latte (flower of milk); are about 2 small fists big or 4.5″ diameter. About 285 each and 9 balls come in each pail.Bocconcini and fior di latte are made with the pasta filata method; that’s when you dip curds into hot whey, then stretching, kneading and pulling into shape. They pair well with dry white wines like Sauvignon and also heavy red wines like Merlot. Top any pizza you make with fior di latte with a sprinkle of our Parmesan! And here’s a recipe for how to serve bocconcini in a tri-colore salad that matches the Italian flag colours of red, white & green!
