Burrata: Puglia's Molten Mozzarella

One key ingredient in the cuisine of Puglia is cheese, and there is a great variety to choose from. One cheese that stands out from the crowd is Burrata, a cheese created only about 50 years ago. Let's see how Burrata is made in the town where it was invented. Riccardo Olanda takes us through the process of making Burrata in his family's cheese works in the town of Andria in this segment of the Food and Wine of Puglia produced by The Culinary Institute of America, in association with the Regione di Puglia.

When you make the straciatella and put it in the heavy cream is the cream cold or hot?

[rnbsteenstar]

Seeing them pull apart the stracciatella it's kind of making my heart race a little bit.

Nothing like a raggedy cream mixture shoved in a pouch!

[imbeat]

@TonyWoW01 since the "pouch" is cheese itself, it is eaten with the "curds" now in days americans use ricotta and cream to fill it with, much cheaper. but to answer your question, everything is eaten

[karydisernestos]

No, for a pizza you need a cheese that's more dry (or you going to get a "wet" pizza). Actually the best thing on a pizza is mozzarella for pizza. It's a type of mozzarella that's designed for pizza. Also of course mozzarella di bufala, that is buffalo mozzarella. The best is from Naples the so called "Campana" that came's from Campagna (the region of Naples)... I feel hungry now :-)

[cyrilgomez]

[robotzful]

Among other things, that water is very hot! Impossible for those who do not there is accustomed

[TonyWoW]

That looks really good but how do you use the pouch in cooking after its made like that? I'm not being condescending. I just don't understand.

[Kyuutiekatcafe]

what's with the classical music?!

[janjmad]

@nizdeh sure, but it's better to put it raw, when the pizza is hot and ready to eat
