The bocconcini we’ve used in this recipe is about the size of golf balls. and available from supermarkets in the chilled dairy aisle and the deli section. However, you could use whole cherry bocconcini, which is smaller, or buffalo mozzarella, which is the size of a tennis ball. If you can find it, burrata, an Italian mozzarella made with cream, would also be delicious. These alternatives to the bocconcini sold in supermarkets are stocked in delis.
