About Burrata

Beautifully balanced flavor, Burrata is an ideal blend of distinct textures working together to generate a landscape of comforting delights. It has a soft shell covered around a buttery center that gives a sensation clash, one-of-a-kind creamy consistency. When cut open, the buttery inside reveals itself as it slowly flows from the center like a rich cream. Fresh, smooth, Burrata attracts with its unique profile and fragile palate.

Whirled by Italian artisans' heels, cheese makers produce Burrata with Apulia plateaus' fresh cow's milk. The lush pasture between the mainland and coast offers a rich grazing forage, producing healthy and rich milk.

How long does Burrata last?

Burrata is best served fresh within a few hours of production. Cheese makers have packaged Burrata to extend its shelf life, but use it within five days after opening.

Due to their high protein content, soft cheeses go bad faster. You can rely on your sense, taste, or eyes to determine whether your Burrata has gone sour.

Look for dryness or signs of hardening around the edge of the cheese. If kept inappropriately or for long, the moisture that makes your Burrata soft and delicious may disappear, beginning at the edges.
