It would be wrong to start a blog predominately featuring Italian cuisine & not talk about burrata.

What is it? Burrata is an Italian buffalo milk cheese. The outer shell is firm mozzarella, while the interior is creamy stracciatella. The word literally translates into “buttered,” if that gives you an idea of the indulgence that we are talking about. Although it may look like a ball of fresh mozzarella, the two are not to be confused.

Maybe you’ve noticed a recent surge in all things burrata on Instagram? In restaurants? At the grocery store? That’s because we’ve finally discovered something that the Italians have had all along – creamy heaven on a dish.
