burrata
Mozzarella with filling
Burrata is a fresh Italian cheese consisting of a mozzarella shell filled with soft curds and cream.
The interior has a rich, spreadable texture that spills out when cut: The burrata oozed onto the plate.
It's typically served with tomatoes, olive oil, or crusty bread, and should be eaten within days of production.
