  <short_description>A new take on marinated mozzarella</short_description>
  <long_description>A new take on an old favorite, marinated mozzarella.</long_description>
  <introduction>
    <![CDATA[<p>Our take on marinated mozzarella may not be the most classic, but the flavors mellow as they sit and wonderfully complement the creaminess of the cheese. Pair with <a href="/recipes/10784">Anchovy-Marinated Olives</a>, cured meats, and crusty bread for an impromptu picnic.</p>


	<p><strong>Game plan:</strong> The bocconcini will keep for 1 week refrigerated in a covered container.</p>]]>
