What is
Burrata?

Burrata is a fresh Italian cheese made from mozzarella and cream. It has a soft, creamy interior and a solid outer shell, making it unique and luxurious. Often served as an appetizer, it is enjoyed with fresh bread, olive oil, or tomatoes.

Origins & History

Burrata originates from the Apulia region in southern Italy. It was first created in the early 20th century as a way to use leftover mozzarella curds, evolving into the rich, creamy cheese we know today. The name 'burrata' is derived from the Italian word for 'buttered,' referring to its buttery interior consistency.

Taste & Texture

Burrata has a mild, creamy, and slightly sweet flavor, complemented by the richness of the cream inside. It's often described as decadent and indulgent, with a textural contrast between the firm outer layer and the creamy center.
