Why is burrata so popular?
Before we get into the kitchen, let's take a look at the burrata. What makes burrata so irresistible?
Burrata originated in Puglia, Italy, and consists of an envelope of mozzarella enclosing an ultra-creamy core (called stracciatella). The result is a texture that's both firm on the outside and incredibly melting on the inside.
It's this contrast that makes burrata so magical.
Add to this a mild, slightly milky taste, and you've got a product that's easy to pair with vegetables, fruit and gourmet dishes alike.
How do you choose and store it?
To take full advantage of its qualities, a few points are essential.
Choose a fresh burrata, ideally eaten the same day or the day after purchase. Take it out of the fridge about 15 to 20 minutes before eating, so that it reveals its full texture.
And above all, avoid handling it too much: it's fragile and its heart must remain intact.
So, are you ready to sit down to dinner?
