Burrata, a unique sort of cheese; an outstanding, exquisite, and eccentric dairy delight that was recently discovered. And it proved to be an original voice among all types of cheeses people have eaten till now.
BURRATA
Creamy symphonies. Where? When? How? Being the youngest delight of all the cheeses we all have been knowing, burrata is a pure sensual language. You taste it and you fall in love with it. You are not able to speak about how it looks like, how it smells like, how it tastes like. You just open your mouth and your brain acts like crazy. It is a serotonin choreography; it’s like talking about love or passion.

Food | An extension of who we are There is a word that has the power to seduce your senses, one that can evoke about tremendous sensory experiences. Food - such a small word, only four letters but with a complex meaning.
Burrata has enriched the international gastronomy field thanks to Italian cheesemakers from the early 1900s. It all started back then in the region of Apulia, also known as Puglia. This delicacy was produced by only a few people in Andria, a town situated in the South part of Italy. From the beginning, it was considered a delicacy due to its making process.
When referring to food, people start talking about their travels, their memories, certain friends, relatives, or feelings. Why? Because food means sharing a universal experience and it reveals our personal story, the truth about who we are. It’s nothing but common ground. What we eat, what we enjoy most, and choose to put on our plates becomes an extension of us.
Burrata | Exploration, adventure, history, metaphor If you are a food reader, if you enjoy discovering new recipes, then you probably know that there are lots of cheese types. You won’t find specific recipes in this article, but if you are a taste hunter, keep reading and you’ll discover an adventure! After all, the act of eating means exploring, right ? One food that connects us all is cheese. In the times when a man was able to work his land and agriculture was the only source of feeding, cheese has appeared. In fact, cheese is one of the oldest foods of humanity.
It is a very creamy sort of cheese made with mozzarella. To prepare this fresh Italian product, you need cow milk, cream, rennet, cultures, and salt. When milk turns into cheese, it starts to curdle and it thickens. Then, boiling water is poured over the curds and it starts a stretching process. Stretching strings are made with bare hands. Next: the key-word called a pouch. A pouch is filled with scraps of mozzarella and a yellow heavy cream mixture. The final step: the pouch gets sealed and tied up. What do you get? A ball of mozzarella with an original signature which consists of a creamy flavorful filling that can be served as the main course.
Sheep milk, goat milk, cow milk, or even yak milk were essential products discovered by man and transformed into dairy delights. Talking about cheese is like opening a manuscript and learning about ancient civilizations.
