Burrata is a deliciously creamy cheese that is a specialty of Southern Italy. Traditionally made from buffalo's milk, today most burrata, like ours, is made from cow's milk.

Burrata is hand-formed into 8 oz. balls and packaged in water. This gourmet cheese is a silky Mozzarella on the outside, that gives it a soft springy texture and cream cheese on the inside for a soft buttery center. It boasts a richly sweet, milky flavor that is sure to please the palate.

Imagine a bite of Burrata; the cream oozes out irresistibly and you experience different textures and flavors at the same time - the sweetness of the cream, the buttery texture covering the inside of your mouth, and the complex soft, stringly outside with a hint of acidity. Belgiogioso's Burrata was awarded a second place in the fresh Mozzarella Type Cheeses at the American Cheese Society Competition of 2007 and a first place in 2011.

Burrata is a very delicate cheese and handling of the product should be limited. We suggest removing the seal from the cup and draining the water. Portion the cheese while still inside the cup. Remove the portions to be eaten and reseal remaining portions. Use within 1-2 days for best flavor.
