Bocconcini - Vannella - 1kg

Vannella Bocconcini

Derived from the Italian term for "small mouthfuls," Bocconcini are egg-sized, springy balls of fresh mozzarella. Handcrafted by Vannella Cheese in Marrickville, Sydney, these delightful morsels are made from high-quality cow's milk, offering a soft, supple texture and a delicate, milky flavour.

Production Process

Vannella's Bocconcini are created using traditional Italian cheesemaking techniques. The process involves dipping curds into hot whey, followed by kneading, pulling, and stretching to achieve the desired consistency. Each piece is carefully shaped to the size of a hard-boiled egg, resulting in a semi-soft, white, rindless cheese that embodies the authenticity of its Neapolitan origins.
