Burrata from Aniata in Del Mar
Has anyone else had this? I went to Aniata to pick up cheeses for my friend's gift. They were really helpful - I basically said I wanted three cheeses and my only criteria was that they are different than what you can buy from TJ or Whole Foods. I ended up with those cheeses, a wedge of Raclette, brie with truffles, a piece of Wendsleydale (because, like Wallace & Grommit, I would love a cheese vacation), nice salami, and the last ball of burrata.
The brie was pretty heady with truffles in the middle. The Wendsleydale was more novelty than something I'd crave. But the burrata was so good! Soft layers of cheese with what seemed to be cream oozing out and the flavor was buttery and rich. I ate half with a tomato only, saved some to let my bf taste, then ate the rest this morning for breakfast.
Where else could I find this in San Diego? Aniata is on my way home from work, so it's really convenient, but now I want to go gobble up as much as I can find!

Having Aniata on my way home from work is going to be a problem, if this last week has been any indication. I just stopped by today for some Parmesan and to try a new snacking cheese.
They get burrata delivered Wednesdays and Saturdays and you can call them in the morning and ask them to set aside a ball (or three) for you to pick up later. Yum!

I love Aniata! We got a really awful piece of Red Hawk from Cowgirl Creamery - it stunk up our refrigerator until we figured out what it was. We nearly had to call Haz Mat. Next visit my husband told them about it, casually - not expecting anything. They told him that it happens occasionally with Red Hawk and fully refunded the price to him. Handed him back cash. Don't find that kind of service almost anywhere these days.
They do have decent cheeses at Bristol Farms at UTC, but it's not nearly as much fun as Aniata!
