Burrata is often referred to as the creamy cousin of mozzarella.  This pure, sweet, and fresh cheese hides a delightful surprise of creamy stracciatella that is wrapped inside its delicate mozzarella shell.  Stracciatella only and reveals itself once burrata is cut open. Traditionally, burrata would be wrapped in the blades of the Asphodel leaf, a leaf native to Puligia Italy (Where Di Stefano owner, Mimmo Bruno is from).  This leaf was used to indicate the freshness of the cheese. When fresh, the blade would be green, after a few days, the leaf would dry up, indicating the burrata was no longer fresh.  Thanks to pasteurizing and our fresh ingredients, Di Stefano burrata lasts much longer.  Our tribute to tradition is exemplified on our 8oz burrata, which is wrapped with what appears to be the Asphodel leaf.  Our burrata is made daily at the Di Stefano Cheese plant utilizing fresh ingredients and traditional methods that define Di Stefano Burrata as simply the best!

Note: Fresh burrata is best served at room temperature.
