Bocconcini Cheese (3 OZ) is a delightful Italian cheese made from fresh cow's milk. Characterized by its small, bite-sized balls, bocconcini has a soft, mild, and slightly elastic texture, making it quite similar to mozzarella. The name "bocconcini" translates to "small mouthfuls" in Italian, reflecting its ideal serving size for various dishes.

This cheese is often packed in water or brine to maintain its freshness and moisture. It is versatile and can be enjoyed in salads, such as the classic Caprese salad, or melted into pizzas and pasta dishes. The delicate, milky flavor pairs well with ingredients like tomatoes, basil, and olive oil.

When storing bocconcini, it's best to keep it submerged in its original liquid in the refrigerator, where it can last up to two weeks. If the original liquid is not available, a salt brine solution can be used.
