Creamy Truffle Burrata
What it is
This is a fresh cheese product. It is made from cow's milk. The cheese has a soft outer shell of mozzarella. Inside, it holds a creamy filling of stracciatella and cream. This particular version is infused with the rich flavor of truffle. The truffle adds an earthy, aromatic quality to the cheese.
How people cook with it
This cheese is a luxurious addition to many dishes. It elevates simple ingredients with its decadent taste and texture.
- Topped on crostini
- Mixed into pasta dishes
- Served with roasted vegetables
- As a standalone appetizer
To enjoy this burrata, remove it from its packaging and let it sit at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes before serving. This allows the cheese to soften and the flavors to become more pronounced. Gently tear open the outer mozzarella shell to reveal the creamy stracciatella and truffle-infused cream within. Drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. It can be served as is, or used as a topping for various dishes. The truffle aroma is best appreciated when the cheese is fresh.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike regular mozzarella, burrata has a soft, creamy interior that oozes out when cut. The addition of truffle oil or pieces gives it a distinct, earthy, and pungent aroma and flavor that is not present in plain burrata.
Who it is for
Home cooks and chefs who enjoy rich, flavorful ingredients will appreciate this cheese.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any remaining burrata in its original liquid in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best consumed within 1-2 days to maintain its freshness and creamy texture. Do not freeze.
