Fresh Burrata Cheese

Burrata is a beloved Italian specialty made from mozzarella and cream, celebrated for its striking contrast in textures. The exterior is a smooth, delicate shell of fresh mozzarella, while the interior reveals a luscious filling of stracciatella mixed with cream. This combination creates a soft, flowing center and a rich yet balanced flavor that is milky, buttery, and indulgent without feeling heavy.

Burrata is traditionally served fresh and allowed to come to room temperature before eating, which helps the creamy interior fully express itself. The name burrata comes from the Italian word burrato, meaning “buttered,” a nod to its luxurious, enriched filling.

This cheese shines when enjoyed simply. Serve it with ripe tomatoes, sea salt, and extra virgin olive oil, or pair it with grilled vegetables, prosciutto, or crusty bread. Burrata also makes an elegant finish for pizza, pasta, and salads, where cutting into the cheese releases its creamy center. Its gentle richness pairs beautifully with crisp whites like Vermentino or Sauvignon Blanc, as well as light, mineral-driven sparkling wines.
