Tasting Notes of the Curator

The burrata, cradled delicately in fig leaf, is a masterpiece of creaminess with subtle herbal undertones imparted by the natural wrapping. Its luxurious texture offers a silky mouthfeel, balanced by a nuanced sweetness that finishes with an earthy, green note. This burrata’s handcrafted charm sets it apart, providing a fresh yet decadent experience that elevates it above the ordinary.

The French Beefsteak tomatoes, or Coeur de Boeuf, are a marvel of nature, ripened under the Mediterranean sun. With a meaty texture and rich, complex flavor, these tomatoes burst with sweetness and a gentle acidity that sings of the French countryside. Their distinct ridged shape and deep ruby hue make them a feast for the eyes and the palate, a true standout among their kind. Together, these products exemplify the harmony of nature and craft.

Pairings and Suggestions

For a sublime experience, pair these with:

• A drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and a pinch of sea salt for a simple yet elevated appetizer.
• Rustic sourdough bread or fresh baguette, lightly toasted, to soak up the creamy burrata and juicy tomato juices.
• Fresh basil leaves or a hint of aged balsamic to accentuate the vibrant flavors.
• Serve alongside a chilled rosé or light-bodied white wine for the perfect summer meal.

For a heartier dish, layer the tomatoes and burrata in a caprese salad with pesto or add them to a handmade focaccia for a sophisticated take on comfort food.

Provence on Your Plate

Did you know that fig leaves have been used for centuries to preserve and enhance delicate cheeses? The unique aromatic compounds in fig leaves impart a subtle, almost ethereal flavor that cannot be replicated with conventional wrapping. Meanwhile, the Coeur de Boeuf tomatoes have long been a favorite among French chefs for their unrivaled sweetness and low water content, making them ideal for dishes where bold, concentrated flavors shine. Together, these two ingredients are a conversation starter, bringing culinary history and artistry to your table.
