Treat Yo’ Self Tuesday: Burrata
Treat Yo’ Self to an experience of pure decadence.
Burrata is an Italian cheese made of fresh buffalo or cow’s milk from Puglia, in Southern Italy. It has the soft exterior of Buffalo Mozzarella, but inside is a center of cream.
For an impressive presentation, serve at room temperature. Slice into the lusciously rich mound of fresh cheese and watch the liquid interior ooze from it’s core. Drizzle with fruity olive oil and a few cracks of pepper to complete the dish.
Serve with fresh bread alongside proscuitto.

do you have a recipe to make these cheese? Just curious how different it is from making regular Motz?
I've never made burrata, but I think it's just a few steps past mozzarella. I found a video posted on youtube from a chef at Crimson Canary restaurant in Denver. I find visuals so helpful… hope you agree!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oynl4bpTuAALet me know how it goes if you try out a recipe!Thanks for the great question,Christina
I adore burrata! Especially with good quality olive oil, some salt and pepper and crusty bread. Some good tomatoes don’t hurt either.
Agreed! It’s one of those things you just want to share with someone who will appreciate it! It’s a pretty perfect picnic item as well. Thanks for chatting Carrie 🙂
