Questions about Burrata cheese
What is burrata made of?
Burrata is a pouch of mozzarella filled with stracciatella: fine strands of mozzarella mixed with cream. Cut it open and the soft filling spills out.
How should you serve burrata?
Bring it out of the fridge about 20–30 minutes before serving so the centre softens and its flavour comes through. Tear or cut it open just before eating.
Can you cook burrata?
It is best added after cooking: heat makes the creamy centre run out and the cheese can turn watery. Put it on a hot pizza, roasted vegetables or pasta just before serving.
What goes well with burrata?
Pair it with ripe tomatoes, grilled peaches, roasted aubergine or courgette, and finish with olive oil, black pepper and basil. It is also served with prosciutto or on bruschetta.
How long does burrata keep after opening?
Keep it refrigerated in its liquid and eat it as soon as possible after opening, ideally the same day. Follow the use-by date on an unopened pack.
What can you use instead of burrata?
Use fresh mozzarella for a similar mild, milky flavour, though it lacks burrata’s creamy centre. For a closer texture, serve torn mozzarella with a spoonful of thick cream.
