Burrata, the Queen of Italian cheeses with a flawless pale exterior and an oozing heart. Perfect on its own and even better when enjoyed with company. The velvety bundle of deliciousness elevates the everyday to the gourmet, especially in our selection of irresistable burrata recipes.
Originating in Southern Italy in the Apulian origin, this sought after creamy delicacy has since made it to the heady heights of fine dining 100 floors up in Hong Kong - if you can't believe it, find out more about burrata's popularity here!
Yet, don't be fooled by its smooth appearance: what might at first appear to be an average ball of mozzarella, is in fact is a wickedly sinful ingredient, capable of transforming even the most simple of bruschetta into a decadent original recipe.
Perfect on a slice of chargrilled bread and garnished with anchovy to balance the creaminess yet equally impeccable on a summer pasta with confit tomatoes, today we share the burrata recipes to amaze your guests this summer.
