Burrata is distinguished by its creamy texture and its heart of stracciatella, a mix of cream and mozzarella. It is made from cow's milk and has a thin, soft rind. In the kitchen, burrata is appreciated for its versatility, used in appetizers, salads, and pasta dishes, where it adds a touch of freshness and creaminess.

Use in cooking

Burrata can be enjoyed raw, accompanied by fresh tomatoes and basil, or used in hot dishes like baked pasta. It is also perfect on gourmet pizzas.

Preservation

To keep burrata fresh, it is advisable to store it in the refrigerator, immersed in its liquid, and consume it within a few days of purchase.

Curiosity

Burrata was invented in the 19th century by a cheesemaker from Puglia who wanted to use the scraps from mozzarella production, thus creating a rich and creamy cheese.
