Its an Italian cheese with a very creamy consistency much like Buffalo mozzarella. I can't tell a big difference. I think barata cheese is from cows milk
Nanny, Burata is an Italian cheese like mozzarella. Creamier and loads more calories but oh sooo good! Mozza is elastic and tastes like rubber (sorry to the Italians here - my OH is Italian, just for the record).
I too, have grown lots of different coloured tomatoes this year @jamesholt but we are having a late summer and are unripe. I am in the south of France where the weather is meant to be hot - still waiting. Temperatures between 25°C to 30°C but nothing spectacular.
PS We expect the Italians to win tonight and are watching it on Rai 1 in Italian. The prelims are already under way!! Yes, I know, I know.
@jamesholt I have a method for making "Tomata" which is a concentrate of tomato and then sun dried. The Italians from Calabre make it - not everyone has a freezer! If your climate is dry then you could try some but you need a lot of tomatoes. 25 kilos makes a jam jar full, but during winter you only need a teaspoon or so in sauces/pizzas etc. as it goes a long way (to dilute in water).
If I have a glut ( in September for us) I freeze some tomatoes whole ( it can just be too much trying to keep up sometimes) and then in mid winter, when I have more time, they come out to make soup. It works surprisingly well.
My wife decided to make salsa. A combination of salt vinegar onions jalapeños and mostly tomatoes. Goofed and conned. She says no more tomatoes. She said the same thing when i was bringing her fish everyday
