Gioia Burrata, Where to get in OC?

[Priscilla]

OK. Where in OC can one get Gioia burrata?

If more than one, which is best?

[Priscilla]

The ONLY place I've found in all this time to get Gioia in OC is Bristol Farms in Newport Beach. Which is OK, I'm glad to be able to get it, but wish there was a closer-to-me source.

Still, it's there, and that is a very good thing.

Guess what? To paraphrase Yoda, there's another!

Beautiful Vin Goat in beautiful Corona del Mar not only has every other kind of good cheese one can imagine, but also, yes: Gioia burrata. And, I think, another of their mozzes.

SO convenient for matching up with the stellar tomatoes we'd just bought across the street at the Corona del Mar farmers market. And of course the Vin Goat people couldn't be nicer or more fluent in all the many dialects of cheese.

I've written about Vin Goat in Taste of Orange County a couple of times, most recently about Anne Willan's recent appearance there in connection with her new The Cookbook Library.
