Bocconcini are small balls of fresh mozzarella. ‘Bambini’ Bocconcini are 5 gram sized baby balls of bocconcini. Bocconcini is a type of Pasta Filata or stretched curd, which is a delicately flavoured fresh cheese that has a texture very similar to al dente pasta. It is used to carry other flavours such as fresh herbs and extra virgin olive oil in salads. Traditionally made in Southern Italy from the milk of water buffaloes (introduced into Italy from India in the 16th century), it is made with cow’s milk in Australia and best kept in it’s own lightly salted water. As this format was invented by La Casa Del Formaggio, we have trademarked the name “Bambini” which means “baby” in Italian! The Bambini variant comes in 5g bite-sized balls.
