This blog dives deep into the rich history of burrata, the perfect pairings at 5350, and why this dish continues to steal the culinary spotlight.

The Irresistible Appeal of Burrata

Burrata is no ordinary cheese. At first glance, it resembles a ball of fresh mozzarella, but once you slice into it, a luscious, creamy center spills out — a rich blend of stracciatella and cream. Its name comes from the Italian word burro, meaning butter, and it’s easy to see why: burrata’s soft, buttery interior makes it a luxurious addition to any meal.

Originating in the Apulia region of Southern Italy in the early 1900s, burrata was created as a way to use up scraps of mozzarella. Cheesemakers would blend the leftover curds with cream and wrap them in a fresh mozzarella shell. What started as a humble farmhouse creation quickly gained fame throughout Italy and, eventually, the world.

Today, burrata is prized by chefs and food lovers for its rich texture, delicate taste, and versatility. It can be served on its own, paired with produce, or added to pastas and flatbreads for a creamy upgrade. At 5350 The Pourhouse, it’s crafted into an unforgettable dish that showcases both simplicity and elegance.
