Burrata is the fanciest of all the cheeses to exist. Commonly found on Neapolitan pizzas and salads, Burrata is an Italian cow milk cheese made from mozzarella and cream. The outer casing is solid cheese, while the inside contains stracciatella and cream, giving it an unusual, soft texture. For the uninitiated, stracciatella is also a type of cheese produced from an Italian buffalo’s milk. Social media is flooded with videos of food bloggers cutting across the Burrata to spill the cheese all over the dish it graces. However, there are some ethics that come in to play when you’re dealing with this fancy cheese. From how it’s served to how it must be consumed, here are a few interesting Burrata ethics that you need to know:
1) Burrata Is Served At Room Temperature
Burrata’s flavour are best when this cheese is served at an ambient temperature. If you’re planning on serving Burrata to your guests, remember to take it out of the freezer at least 30 minutes prior, so that it gets sufficient time to warm up. Since Burrata is classified as fresh cheese, it’s recommended to eat it as soon as it’s made. This means that Burrata shouldn’t be stored for days at end. If you’re buying the Burrata today and cutting it for your salad or pizza, make sure you consume it as soon as you can. If you store an open packet of Burrata for several days, the cheese will turn sour and go bad. Consume the Burrata within one or two days after it’s production. Store Burrata in the fridge and not the freezer as that would impact the texture and taste of Burrata and make it bad. Avoid storing Burrata after opening it. When you slice Burrata, its cream and Stracciatella flows out. Thus, after you cut it open, you should eat it immediately.
