Belgioioso Auribella Cheese
What it is
Auribella is a soft, fresh cheese made from cow's milk. It has a mild, milky flavor and a creamy texture. This cheese is typically sold in a round, flat shape and is often described as similar to a fresh mozzarella or a mild burrata, though it lacks the stracciatella filling. Its delicate nature makes it a versatile ingredient in various dishes.
How people cook with it
This cheese is wonderful for adding a fresh, creamy element to meals. It can be enjoyed in both sweet and savory preparations.
- Topped on pizzas
- Layered in sandwiches
- Served with fresh fruit
- Mixed into pasta dishes
Auribella cheese can be used in many ways. It melts beautifully, making it a great addition to pizzas or baked pasta dishes. For a lighter touch, it can be sliced and added to salads or sandwiches just before serving. Its mild taste also pairs well with sweet accompaniments like honey or fruit preserves, making it suitable for cheese boards or as a simple dessert. When cooking, add it towards the end of the process to preserve its delicate texture and flavor.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to aged cheeses, Auribella is much softer and has a higher moisture content. Its flavor is less intense and more milky than a sharp cheddar or a pungent blue cheese. It also lacks the distinct rind found on many other cheese varieties.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs alike can use this cheese to enhance a variety of dishes.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused Auribella cheese in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best consumed within a few days to maintain its freshness and creamy texture. Ensure it is kept moist, perhaps by wrapping it in its original packaging or parchment paper.
