Fresh Cheese

One of the most popular categories of cheese we make at Jersey Girl Cheese is Fresh Cheese. It’s made from fresh cow or goat milk, and comes in different varieties.
 

Fresh Mozzarella: a Southern Italian, white semi-soft, non-aged cheese made from cow’s milk. Made from sliceable curd, it is stretched by hand and shaped into balls. It is then packed in brine. High moisture with a mild tang and slightly salty. Fresh mozzarella is the shining star of a Caprese salad.
 

Burrata: A true delicacy, its name originates from the Italian word burro, which translates to butter. Burrata is a fresh mozzarella shell, with a thick, rich cream center called stracciatella. One of our most popular cheeses, burrata is used in salads, pizza and even pasta dishes.
 

Ricotta: Literally translates to “re-cooked”, ricotta is made using the whey leftover from making other cheeses. It’s ladled into baskets to drain and to set up. It has a very mild, delicately sweet and creamy flavor. While many use our ricotta for savory dishes, we like our ricotta served simply with honey or fruit for a light and creamy dessert. We offer both cow and goat milk
ricotta.
