BURRATA

Burrata, meaning "buttery" in Italian is a fresh cheese made from a mix of mozzarella and cream. The outside thin shell is a pasta filata curd made of mozzarella while the insides contain a soft, doughy, stringy, mixture of curd and fresh cream. The cheese originated in the Apulia region of Italy known for sheep farming and agriculture. 

When you cut open a Burrata, it oozes with buttery and creamy stracciatella containing scraps of mozzarella. The cream has a rich flavour and has to be eaten immediately since it is a fresh cheese. Burrata is usually served fresh at room temperature and beyond 48 hours, it is considered past its prime. Burrata goes well with salads, crusty bread, prosciutto, fresh tomatoes with olive oil and especially set atop a freshly baked pizza!
