Bocconcini cheese is a type of fresh Italian cheese made from cow's milk. In some regions, it is also made using water buffalo milk or a combination of water buffalo and cow's milk. The name "bocconcini" translates to "small mouthfuls" in Italian. These are small cheese balls and are about the size of cherry tomatoes. This mild and soft cheese has a delicate, milky flavour. It is often used in salads, paired with tomatoes and basil in the classic Caprese salad. 

On the other hand, Bocconcino Di Langa, made using goat's milk, features a smooth, bloomy rind. When young, this cheese exhibits a supple, springy texture. With maturation, the texture becomes firmer, accompanied by sweet and goaty flavour.
