Stracciatella | The evolution of Mozzarella
5-11-2018
Quite a few years ago it started in Italian restaurants, Mozzarella became the most popular cheese imaginable, even as popular that you started seeing it on menu’s in restaurants all across the board, all across the globe. Then a couple of years ago we started seeing Burrata everywhere, a real delicious cheese that was even softer and better than Mozzarella and these days you can order it everywhere so time to up the ante: Stracciatella! Stracciatella di bufala are small bits of curd and the word means as much as ripped or shredded. Stracciatella is white like its predecessors and is best explained as the inside of the Burrata. Its origins are from the region of Puglia. So don’t worry we are not talking about the cheese and chocolate ice-cream flavor! This soft beautiful cheese is now taking over menus globally! An article from Leonie van Spronsen reporting from New York City.

JUST meat and JUST egg | Meat created from a chicken feather
26-10-2018
JUST meat is another one of those great initiatives to reduce the world’s meat production. JUST meat is able to change a chicken feather into chicken nuggets! As meat could be described as a combination of muscle and fat cells, they use cells from the feather as a tissue sample from which meat can be cultivated. They have announced to introduce the cultured chicken nuggets before the end of 2018.
However this is probably not possible in the U.S. due to the fact that the USDA and FDA are still reluctant in terms of regulations.
