Somebody Help This Poor Girl: Cheese Please

I ate so much cheese during my recent trip to Italy that if you cut me I would bleed burrata. See this ball to the left? I bought it at an open market in Siena and I ate the whole thing in one sitting, prompting my traveling buddies to remark, “From the truck to Nancy’s butt.” Nice people, I know. Anywhoo, I am so happy to know that Dallas is going crazy for cheese and cheese stores are going crazy for Dallas. A reader wants some wine with hers:

My husband I have been reading about the recent openings of cheese shops around the metroplex, and we’re intrigued. We want to check one out this weekend, and I was wondering if you had any recommendations or faves. One that served beer and wine would be best.

I am heading over to Molto Formaggio in Preston Forest to check out their selection of cheeses. Of course, you must go to Ms. Paula’s in Deep Ellum. Scardello’s Artisan Cheese in Oak Lawn just opened last Thursday and they have a nice selection of small vineyard wines. Go. Eat. Report.

Mozzarella Co makes a version of Burratta that is different from what you get in Italy. The only place i have been able to get real Italian Burratta is from Murray’s Cheese in NYC. They will overnight it to you. I spoke with the folks at Molto and they are going to try to obtain some authentic Burratta but have not gotten any yet…it is very perishable and customs is an issue.

Sometimes Jimmy’s Food Store takes special orders for burrata. Let’s all call them today and demand more. HOwever, Paula’s burrata is good stuff.

If you are free this evening here is another great way to try Paula’s cheese and have some wine, and it is a great deal, this comes from the Crush Wine Shop Newsletter:

This Thursday were having a Happy Hour event featuring artisan cheeses from Paula Lambert’s Mozzarella Company. One of Paula’s staff cheese experts will be on hand to sample a number of the company’s cheeses and we are pairing them with compatible wines that make a good match. This wine and cheese demo event is from 5:30 – 7:00PM, Thursday, Nov. 6th. Your price to taste is only $10 (complementary for Crush Club Wine Program members).
