What Does Burrata Taste Like?

Delicious. Burrata tastes like a creamier version of mozzarella. The taste is not overpowering but is it the WAY better version of mozzarella.

The outer shell of the burrata is like mozzarella; however, the middle is filled with this creamy, very spreadable goodness you are 10/10 going to love.

Mozzarella vs Burrata

Mozzarella and burrata are kind of similar but can be used for different things. Mozzarella, when cooked, creates a gooey form, as we see on pizza. If you’re looking to hold stuff together, mozzarella is the way to go.

Burrata is more creamy and would not hold like mozzarella does because it’s not as dense. If you’re looking for more flavour to add to your salads or appetizers, burrata is more of the way to go. Think of burrata as more of a spreadable cheese compared to slices of mozzarella.

How to Serve Burrata?

There are several different ways you can serve burrata. Most of the recipes you’ll find involve pairing them with tomatoes. If you can find smaller burrata balls can serve them on their own with tomatoes, olive oil, and topped with basil.

I’ve also seen other recipes that include baking the burrata with cherry tomatoes and serving them with bread for dipping.

You also do the same thing with baking the burrata in the oven but using it as a pasta sauce instead. We’re going to go over 7 great options for you to make with burrata!

Where to Buy Burrata?

Burrata should be found in your local grocery store! That being said, if you’re from a smaller town, you may have a harder time finding it. I suggest looking at one of your fancier grocery stores if you’re having trouble tracking it down.
