Puglian Smoked Burrata With Yellow Piennolo Gazpacho By Giovanna Eusebi Of Eusebi Deli In Glasgow

We went and visited the Deep South this Summer. You know my love affair with Tomatoes!

This recipe uses a protected tomato variety from the Vesuvian area. Super Sweet. The gentle smokiness of the Buratta is well married with the sweetness of the tomatoes. 

This Puglian Burrata is naturally smoked and it has no chemical after taste like mass manufactured cheese. We import it to Eusebi Deli on a weekly basis to ensure we have the very best, freshest product to use in our Deli.
