Truffle Burrata cheese is a spun paste fresh cheese, similar to mozzarella with a softer and stringier consistency. This cheese is typical of Murgia, a region in Puglia, and specifically from Corato (Bari). This is a sweet, buttery cheese with white skin is that is smooth and glossy. Grated truffle is mixed with the stretchy strings of paste that are inside it. The truffle scents are softened by the sweetness of both the cream and the soft outer cheese.
