Burrata is an Italian cheese from the Apulia region in the south of the country, made with an outer shell of solid mozzarella enclosing a soft, rich filling called stracciatella, shreds of mozzarella curd mixed with fresh cream. Invented in the early 20th century as a way to use up mozzarella scraps and cream rather than waste them, burrata is meant to be eaten very fresh, ideally within a day or two of being made, since its shell has no other preservation method. Sliced open, it releases its creamy interior over the plate, and it is typically served simply, drizzled with olive oil and salt or paired with ripe tomatoes and bread.
