Belfiore Burrata with Castelvetrano & Meyer Lemon Compote

A vibrant Culinary Team creation, crafted by the bright, expressive notes of Davis Estates Sauvignon Blanc.

Ingredients

Serves 4 to 8

Castelvetrano & Meyer Lemon Compote

4 cups Castlevetrano olives (pitted)
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
½ cup Champagne Vinegar
2 tablespoon Meyer Lemon Zest
1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper

Torn Sourdough Croutons

2 cups Sourdough Bread, torn into crouton sized pieces
2 cloves garlic, paste
Salt and pepper to taste
4-6 cups frying oil

Burrata

8–16 ounces of your favorite brand of burrata, we recommend Belfiore (local to Napa Valley)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Flake salt and pepper to taste

Method

Castelvetrano & Meyer Lemon Compote

  • Strain Olives and chop finely in a food processor.
  • Add remaining ingredients and pulse until combined.
  • Shelf life is 4 weeks in the fridge.

Torn Sourdough Croutons

  • Trim most of the crust off of the sourdough and use your hands to tear the bread into crouton sized pieces.
  • In a medium pot bring the frying oil up to 350 degrees. Add the garlic paste to a medium sized metal or glass bowl.
  • Fry the torn bread, stirring occasionally until the croutons turn a golden brown. Take 1 teaspoon of the hot frying oil and pour it over the garlic paste in the metal bowl, then add the croutons and toss with salt and pepper.

Burrata

  • Take it out of the fridge 20–30 minutes before serving.
  • Use a knife to slice or gently tear it open at the table, let the creamy center spill out naturally.

To Finish

On a your favorite serving dish place the Burrata intact on a plate or shallow bowl drizzle lightly with olive oil and a pinch of flaky salt. Place your Castelvetrano & Meyer Lemon Compote over the top, garnish with Torn Sourdough Croutons. Serve immediately with a chilled glass of Sauvignon Blanc.

Creamy Belfiore Burrata meets the bright pop of Castelvetrano olives and Meyer lemon compote, perfectly lifted by the crisp, citrus-kissed elegance of our Davis Estates Sauvignon Blanc.
