Algunos os preguntareis que es la BURRATA, bien pues os voy a contar un poco, para aquellos que todavía no la conocen.Su nombre sencillamente quiere decir mantecoso, ya que mantequilla en italiano es" burro".Se trata de un queso fresco italiano producido en la región de Puglia, se suele presentar en forma de bolsita, atada en su extremo.
Esta elaborada de mozzarella rellena de la misma , deshilachada mezclada con crema de leche.
Si es artesanal la bolsita viene envuelta con hojas de vizzo, una planta que crece en la zona de la Murgia Plugiese y que le deja un aroma a hierba fresca.
Actualmente se envuelve en hojas artificiales que imitan esta planta.
Some of you could be wondering what Burrata is. Well, let´s talk a little bit about it. Burrata means "buttery" since "burro" means butter in Italian. It´s a fresh cheese made in the Italian region of Puglia. Usually it comes presented like a bag, with one side tied. Solid mozzarella shell and both, mozzarella and cream inside, it has a really soft texture. If it is truly handmade, it comes wrapped in leaves of asphodel (vizzo) that it´s from Murgia Plugiese region and that gives it a fresh herbal scent. More recently, the cheese is often sold in a plastic bag or container.

Tiene un alto valor gastronómico,ya que es muy cremosa y de intenso sabor, además su consumo todavía no esta masificado por ello la poca producción que hay es de una gran calidad.
Debemos conservarla en su propio suero hasta el momento de consumirla.
Es un producto altamente perecedero, es una de las grandes diferencias respecto a la mozzarella, que tiene una vida útil mayor.
Es un queso que se deshace en la boca.Su exterior elástico pero tierno nos hace pensar enseguida que se trata de mozzarella que en su interior tiene una mezcla de hilos de mozzarrella y crema de leche fresca, es muy delicada.
Por eso si teneis ocasion de conseguir BURRATA fresca no dudeis en probarla!!
It´s a very interesting product gastronomically speaking, because it´s creamy and it has an intense flavor. With a quite limited production, you can find a high quality product. It´s better preserved in its own whey until consumed due it has a little expiration date in contrast to mozzarella.
This cheese that melts in your mouth, with a stretchy shell but a tender core, makes us feel how delicate it is. So if you have the chance, give it a try, trust me you won´t regret it. It´s totally addictive!!
