Description
Burrata is a typical product of Murgia in the south of Italy. It is produced from cow’s milk, rennet, and cream. Burrata may have origins dating back to about 1900 on the Brea brothers (Lorenzo and Vincenzo) farm in the city of Andria within Murgia, an area in the Apulian region. More recent records have shown that Lorenzo Brea Padura views of the farm first developed the product in 1956.
In the 1950s, it became more widely available after some local cheese factories began producing it and it can be a useful way of using up the ritagli ( “scrap” or “rags”) of mozzarella.
In November 2016, “Burrata di André” became a protected geographical indications (PGI) product.
