Breaded Truffle Mozzarella Bites by Bachetti Food
Mozzarelline al Tartufo are spherical breaded mozzarella morsels flavoured with truffle, a frozen finger food from the Piceno area of Ascoli Piceno (Marche). Each carton holds 2 bags of 2.5 kg (5 kg net), with pieces of about 18 g containing 50% mozzarella and 1.5% truffle. They go straight from the freezer into hot oil and are ready in minutes, delivering a molten cheese core and a bold truffle aroma in every bite.
What Mozzarelline al Tartufo Are
Mozzarelline are a characteristic specialty of the Piceno territory: small mozzarella balls breaded and fried, served as a starter or aperitif bite. In this version the classic recipe is enriched with truffle, which lends an earthy, refined note to the fresh dairy heart. The breading forms a golden, crisp shell that protects the soft, stringy centre during frying.
Geographic Origin
The product is made in Italy, in Ascoli Piceno, in the heart of the Marche region. The Piceno is a land of strong gastronomic identity, famous for its fried specialties such as the Olive Ascolane. Country of origin: Italy.
