Aptly named, Bocconcini means ‘small mouthfuls’ in Italian and they are basically tiny mozzarella cheeses that have been molded into their now distinct egg-like shape. Originally from Naples, this type of cheese was initially made using exclusively the milk of water buffalo.
However, all the while employing the traditional Italian technique of using a higher moisture content when compared to other cheeses in the Mozzarella family. Similar to other mozzarella, Bocconcini takes on a rindless, off-white appearance and has a semi-soft texture that just melts in your mouth.
