Made in New Jersey according to Italian tradition, Lioni Burrata gets its oozing, decadent interior from stracciatella, little shreds of mozzarella mixed with cream. It creates a cool and textured center inside the two smooth rounds of mild cheese. Milky and lactic, this is the perfect luxurious topping for Murray’s Classic Mac & Cheese. Or drizzle with Due Vittorie Balsamic Vinegar and serve with Castelvetrano olives for the perfect counterbalance to the creamy richness.

"I like to add a ball of burrata and a drizzle of balsamic to my lentil salad to elevate my lunch."

  • Stracciatella, which refers to small ripped pieces of mozzarella, was born out of cheesemakers’ desire to be less wasteful during the mozzarella making process.
  • Burrata cheese is based on traditional mozzarella. It follows the same early steps as mozzarella, including heating curds, gently stretching them and wrapping them into a ball, but with one key addition: cream. When making burrata, the cheesemaker stretches the curd into a cup-like shape, then scoops cream and stracciatella into the center before tying off to enclose the pouch.
  • Burrata is a traditional product of a region of southern Italy called the Murgie in Puglia—the "heel" of the Italian boot. Burrata is said to have been first made around 1920 on the Bianchini farm.
  • In Italian tradition, Burrata is wrapped in an asphodel leaf, a plant from southern Italy that is said to have the same life span as a ball of the cheese. Italians would watch the leaf to see when it wilted or browned as a way to track the freshness of the cheese.
  • While the cheesemakers that produce Lioni Burrata started cheesemaking in the United States in 1980, their family has roots in Campagna, Italy, where mozzarella has a long history. This tradition has been passed down in the family for generations.
