Burrata is a soft Italian cheese made from cow's milk (or occasionally buffalo milk), cream, and mozzarella. The cheese is produced by forming a soft pouch from mozzarella, which is then filled with a mixture of cream and fresh curds. The pouch is then sealed, giving burrata its signature dumpling-like shape. The outer appearance of burrata is similar to that of fresh mozzarella, but the inside contains a soft, oozing mixture of cream and small cheese curds.
