Bright and fresh, Murray’s Burrata is a mozzarella pouch filled with sweet cream. Burrata gets its oozing, decadent interior from a combination of cream and stracciatella, or little shreds of mozzarella, that together create a cool and textured center inside a smooth, rindless ball of mild cheese. Milky and rich with a hint of lactic tang, it’s the perfect topping for salads, pasta, and pizza, especially with a drizzle of classic Italian EVOO and sundried tomatoes.

“When you cut into Murray’s Burrata, it reveals a creamy interior, and it's impossible not to love that gooey center. It pairs perfectly with slices of heirloom tomato and a pinch of salt, or go crazy and top off your mac & cheese with an entire ball of decadence.”

Stracciatella, which refers to small ripped pieces of mozzarella, was born out of cheesemakers’ desire to be less wasteful during the mozzarella making process.
Burrata cheese is based on traditional mozzarella. It follows the same early steps as mozzarella, including heating curds, gently stretching them and wrapping them into a ball, but with one key addition: cream.
When making burrata, the cheesemaker stretches the curd into a cup-like shape, then scoops cream and stracciatella into the center before tying off to enclose the pouch.
Burrata is a traditional product of a region of southern Italy called the Murgie in Puglia—the "heel" of the Italian boot. Burrata is said to have been first made around 1920 on the Bianchini farm.
In Italian tradition, burrata is wrapped in an asphodel leaf, a plant from southern Italy that is said to have the same life span as a ball of the cheese. Italians would watch the leaf to see when it wilted or browned as a way to track the freshness of the cheese.
While the cheesemakers that produce Murray's Burrata started cheesemaking in the United States in 1980, their family has roots in Campagna, Italy, where mozzarella has a long history. This tradition has been passed down in the family for generations.
