Burrata vs. Mozzarella—What’s the Difference?
If your only experience with Italian cheeses is pre-shredded mozzarella or grated parmesan, you’re missing out on one of life’s greatest pleasures! Don’t be intimidated by the supermarket’s “fancy cheese” section—it’s the easiest way to take your salad, pasta, or pizza to the next level once you know what you’re looking for.
Fresh, traditional mozzarella and burrata are closely related, with a few differences. Fresh mozzarella is made from Italian ‘buffalo milk’ (latte di bufala) and comes in a ball. When sliced, it has a smooth, springy texture. Burrata is basically a variation on the original. It has an outer skin of mozzarella that is filled with stracciatella—shredded mozzarella that has been soaked in cream. These “little rags” give burrata a soft, buttery inside, adding a rich creaminess that perfectly complements salad greens. Mangiamo!
