Cool Facts
Hidden creamy center. Burrata looks like a plain mozzarella ball on the outside, but when you cut it open, you discover a luscious pool of cream and soft cheese curds inside. It's like a delicious cheese treasure!
Made in Italy. Burrata comes from southern Italy, particularly from the Puglia region. Italian cheesemakers invented it because they wanted to use up leftover mozzarella pieces and cream in a creative way.
Cow's milk magic. Burrata is made from cow's milk that gets turned into mozzarella and then filled with cream. The outer shell is stretchy mozzarella, and the inside stays soft and spoonable.
Tastes fresh and mild. Burrata has a buttery, milky flavor that's much creamier than regular mozzarella. It's best eaten soon after it's made, which is why it tastes so fresh and delicate.
