About Burrata di Andria Cheese

Burrata di Andria is a type of cheese originating from Italy, specifically from the Apulia region. It is a cow's milk cheese that combines cream with stretched-curd cheese, known as pasta filata. The cheese is characterized by its round shape, resembling a sack with a bunched-up closure at the top. The outer layer is made of stretched curd, while the inside contains a mixture of cream and hand-shredded pasta filata, called stracciatella. Burrata di Andria is milk-white in color and has a moisture content between 50% and 70%. It is known for its pleasant aroma of fresh or heated milk, butter, and cream. The cheese must be produced and packaged within the Apulia region to maintain its Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status.
