Burrata recipes – Italy’s best-of

What to cook with burrata?

In principle, you can use the cheese in the same way as mozzarella. It goes well with tomato salad, pizza and pasta. There is a delicious collection of recipes below.

Unlike mozzarella, however, burrata has the multiple wow effect. It is not just mozzarella, but something very special.

Even though connoisseurs are spotting it more and more often in stores, burrata is still far from being a common culinary commodity. Many people have never tried the cheese and the chances of surprising guests with it are good. The next wow effect comes when the burrata is cut.

Burrata – difference to mozzarella

Externally, the cheeses are very similar. Burrata is made from mozzarella dough. However, unlike mozzarella, burrata is filled. Inside is a creamy heart of straciatella. This is the name of the mixture of cream and finely shredded mozzarella. If you cut the cheese, the filling flows out… Simply delicious!
