The mozzarella and the burrata are different but related cheeses. The term “burrata” comes from the word donkey (“butter” in Italian), because the texture of this cheese is more creamy and soft than that of mozzarella. This characteristic is very evident in the Toscanella Burrata, a well-made cheese (curiously in Spain, not in Italy), with an outer texture spun and a creamy interior, offering a game of delusional consistencies. Its container in tub with built-in squeegee facilitates its manipulation. Like the mozzarella, the burrata is made with pasta spun, but in its case, in addition, this stuffed with cream of milk, so it always has the form of sachet. Thanks to its creaminess and great flavor it only needs an accompaniment: a splash of olive oil salt, and pepper. It is not advisable to cut it in dice or slices because when breaking it loses the inner cream, its treasure best kept.
