Burrata cheeses are currently produced in the regions of Puglia , Campania and Basilicata . Due to its delicate taste, burrata in a relatively short time has gained great popularity, and is now considered a delicacy .

A burrata ball resembles mozzarella on the outside, but inside has a soft creamy consistency. Burrata contains at least 60% fat in the dry residue, calorie content is in the range of 330 kilocalories per 100 grams.

In the manufacture of burrata, hot cheese mass is collected in a bag, which is previously laid out from the inside with mozzarella plates. Top the bag with heavy cream and then wrapped in green banana leaves, thereby emphasizing the refined taste of cheese. Burrata has an excellent taste, but is stored for a very short time. It is best to serve ripe tomatoes , olive oil and freshly ground black pepper to burrata. It also goes well with honey, it is better to take liquid honey with a light taste and smell.
