Burratina

A cousin to Burrata, Burratina is a fresh cheese unlike any other. This soft and velvety delight boasts a buttery texture and a milky flavor that melts on your tongue.

Burratina's true magic lies in its contrasting textures. A delicate, almost pouch-like exterior gives way to a luxuriously creamy center, often described with words like "buttery" and "silky." This interplay between the soft, milky interior and the slightly firmer outer shell creates a truly delightful sensation for your taste buds.


Crafting Burratina is an art form. Skilled cheesemakers hand-stretch fresh curds before filling them with a luscious blend of stracciatella, shredded mozzarella, and cream. The resulting creation is, then, sealed into a small pouch, often tied with a simple knot. This traditional method, meticulously preserved by local artisans, ensures that each Burratina delivers exceptional quality and flavor in every bite.

How to Serve:

While it can be enjoyed on its own, it also lends itself beautifully to various culinary creations. Its creamy nature makes it a perfect addition to salads, plates of pasta, and pizzas, elevating these dishes with its rich and indulgent profile.

Here are some cooking and serving suggestions to make the most of this delightful cheese:

  1. Standalone Appetizer: Serve Burratina as a standalone appetizer or by pairing it with crusty bread, cherry tomatoes, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. The combination of creamy cheese, tangy tomatoes, and the nuttiness of the olive oil creates a mouthwatering experience.
  2. Salads: Add slices of Burratina to your favorite salad for a burst of creaminess. It pairs particularly well with fresh greens, ripe peaches, and a balsamic glaze.
  3. Pasta: Toss cooked pasta with Burratina, cherry tomatoes, and fresh basil for a simple yet incredibly flavorful dish. The warmth of the pasta will melt the cheese, creating a creamy sauce that coats every strand.
  4. Pizza: Spread Burratina cheese on your pizza crust as a base before adding your favorite toppings. The cheese will melt and create a creamy layer that complements the other flavors.

Remember to handle Burratina cheese with care, as its delicate nature can cause it to break or lose its shape. Use a sharp knife or scissors to cut through the outer shell, allowing the creamy center to ooze out.
