Since I shared my melon and prosciutto salad, I was craving this equally delicious and summery grilled peach and arugula salad with burrata and my favorite prosciutto dolce: prosciutto di Parma.
There is nothing like the freshness of a creamy burrata. I’m a cheese person. I adore fresh white cheeses like the superb Venezuelan white cheeses: queso Guayanés and queso de mano. And of course, I love mozzarella and burrata.
What is Burrata?
Burrata is a cheese typical of Andria, a city in the Apulia region, in southern Italy. It’s made with mozzarella scraps and cream. They are similar in flavor. The outer “shell” of the burrata is like mozzarella. But when you cut it, the inside is super soft, runny, and extra creamy. Since 2016, “Burrata di Andria” holds the Indicazione Geografica Protetta seal, conferred by the European Union.
How can I pair Burrata?
Like mozzarella, burrata paired with prosciutto di Parma (one of the reasons I cannot be vegetarian) is a match made in heaven. It also goes with good arugula and basil. And of course, burrata and peaches are a must.
If you add peaches when they are at the peak of their season, then it’s glory. Peaches in August are juicy and sweet like candy. If you happen to grill peach slices for a minute, an almost buttery flavor will develop.
To reach the Nirvana salad, I served the burrata, prosciutto, and peaches over a bed of baby arugula, some purple basil leaves, and seasoned all with the very unique olive oil O Blood Orange Olive Oil and my balsamic vinegar reduction.
A luscious olive oil
The people from O Olive Oil & Vinegar sent me a couple of bottles of their olive oils and bottles of vinegar as a present… a few years ago. At that time, I was moving and completely forgot about it. I found the bottles bubble-wrapped in the same box they were sent to me when I moved again a month and a half ago.
I must confess I panicked when I opened my bottles, thinking the content was probably too old to be consumed. But guess what? Everything was perfect, and these are the oils and types of vinegar I’m using to dress my salads this summer.
It’s heaven on earth. Nothing that I say to describe O Blood Orange Olive Oil will honor the beauty of the subtle orange hints and the tangy and sweetness (it seems like a contradiction but I swear it’s not) of the citrusy notes in this delicate yet flavorful luscious oil.
O Blood Orange Olive Oil is made with organic California blood oranges and non-sprayed California mission olives. Both ingredients are crushed and cold-pressed together. There is nothing artificial there.
