Burrata di Bufala
Burrata di bufala is a pouch of buffalo mozzarella paste filled with cream and stracciatella shreds that floods sweet buffalo cream when cut. It is richer and more fragile than cow burrata. Serve the day you buy it with bread or tomatoes. Do not hard-cook—warm gently at most. Drain liquid and season simply with oil and salt.
