Burrata Pugliese Murcia

Tasting Notes of the Curator

Burrata Pugliese Murcia is a study in contrast and restraint. Its outer shell is formed from fresh mozzarella—supple, smooth, and gently elastic. When sliced, it reveals its signature heart: stracciatella, a luscious blend of cream and delicate mozzarella strands that flow softly onto the plate.

On the palate, it is milky and sweet with a clean lactic freshness. The texture is what defines it most—lightly structured on the outside, decadently fluid at the center. There is no sharpness, no aggressive salt. Instead, it offers a rounded creaminess that feels airy yet indulgent. The finish is soft and lingering, leaving a whisper of fresh dairy and sweet cream.

Crafted in Murcia using traditional Pugliese methods, this burrata captures the spirit of Southern Italian cheesemaking while reflecting Spain’s growing expertise in fresh dairy production. It is understated luxury—quiet, elegant, and deeply satisfying.

A Cheese Born of Craft

Burrata originated in Puglia, Italy, as a way to use leftover mozzarella scraps by blending them with cream and encasing them in a fresh mozzarella pouch. The name “burrata” comes from “burro,” meaning butter—an ode to its rich, buttery interior. Today, its production has expanded beyond Italy, yet the heart of burrata remains unchanged: freshness above all else.

The Murcia interpretation honors this heritage while benefiting from Spain’s strong dairy tradition. Each piece must be handled gently and consumed fresh, as burrata is at its peak when the stracciatella remains soft and flowing. It is a cheese that celebrates immediacy—meant to be opened, shared, and enjoyed without delay.
