What is burrata?

Burrata is made with mozzarella and cream. It’s a cow's milk cheese with an outer shell of mozzarella and with cream and mozzarella pieces that make up the inside. It's so creamy on the inside, it might get a little messy as it's being consumed. Don't worry, this is part of the burrata experience. Its buttery texture and rich flavor turns seasonal produce into a truly elegant experience.
