Burrata is a fresh cheese originating from southern Italy (Puglia region), known for its unique taste and production process. Here is a detailed introduction about it：
1. Appearance and structure
Outer layer: Made of solid Mozzarella cheese, forming a flexible bag like outer shell.
Core: Wrapped with silky curd fragments (Stracciatella) and fresh cream, the texture is dense and moist, and when cut open, it forms a flowing cream like texture.
2. Taste and flavor
Taste: The outer shell is elastic, the inner core is delicate and smooth, melts in the mouth, and has a rich milk aroma.
Flavor: More mellow than regular mozzarella cheese, with a fresh lactic acid flavor and creamy sweetness.
3. Manufacturing process
The traditional method is to stretch hot cheese into bags, fill them with curd fragments and cream, seal them, and consume them fresh.
4. Eating method
Direct tasting: After leaving at room temperature for a moment, pair with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, or fresh herbs (such as basil).
Matching ingredients:
Tomatoes, arugula, ham, or honeydew.
Bread, baked vegetables or pasta.
Classic combination: Burrata Caprese salad (paired with tomatoes, basil, olive oil).
Save and purchase:
Storage: Refrigerate and consume as soon as possible (1-3 days after purchase) to prevent the inner core from spoiling.
Selection: Choose products that are fully packaged and soaked in whey to ensure freshness.
Trend：
In recent years, it has become the darling of Western and internet famous cuisine, often used in high-end salads, pizzas, appetizers, and even desserts.
