Burrata

Burrata is a fresh Italian cheese from the Apulia region, made from cow's milk. It consists of a thin mozzarella shell filled with a mixture of stracciatella and cream, giving it a beautifully rich and creamy centre when cut open. The name comes from the Italian word burro, meaning butter, referring to its rich, buttery flavour. It is served fresh, ideally at room temperature, with fresh tomatoes, basil, and olive oil, or on crostini with prosciutto and fruit. Burrata is considerably richer and creamier than classic mozzarella and is prized for its luxurious texture.
