Burrata

The pinnacle of dairy indulgence. It is a mozzarella shell enclosing stracciatella (shredded curds bathed in fresh cream). The major gastronomic interest of burrata is the thermal and textural shock: placed cold on a piping hot risotto or roasted vegetables, its creamy core spills out, acting as a rich, lactic, and refreshing sauce that extinguishes the fire of a spicy seasoning.
