I travel for the Chill

Being and Nothingness in Umbria

by Carolynn Carreno

This burrata, about the size of my head, comes from a caseificio (local cheesemaker) in the nearby town of Todi. My friends and I always try to make a trip there before a party. In fact, this caseificio is, in a circuitous way, how the Mozzarella Bar at Osteria Mozza was born. (For the full story, read The Mozza Cookbook!)
