Burrata is a delicacy for every cheese lover in the world. The word's literal meaning is 'buttery.' Burrata is usually made from an outer shell of mozzarella, which is either from cow's milk or water buffalo milk. It is filled with fresh cream and curds.
Burrata was first made around 100 years ago in Andria in Murgiat, Southern Italy. Three simple ingredients - cow's milk, rennet, and cream - are all that is needed to make Burrata.
You can enjoy it within 24 hours of making it. But, you should eat Burrata as fresh as possible. Also, keep the cheese at room temperature.
