Notes

So identical, but so unlike. Here's what distinguishes these two smooth kinds of cheese
Mozzarella is made from curd, obtained by combining lactic ferments and rennet with pasteurized cow's milk. The following stages are to cut the curd and remove the whey. At this stage, the curd is sliced into strips and kneaded in hot water, either manually or automatically, to make it "spin" or "stretch," resulting in mozzarella bits. The final step is to immerse the pieces in water to chill them.
Burrata is created from the extended curd of mozzarella. However, it is not the major component of the milk product; instead, it functions as a casing. Inside lies a delicate and creamy filling of stracciatella and cream. Whereas mozzarella has a much more rich flavor and a more flexible texture, burrata is gentler, tastier, and rich in calories, thanks to the cream.
Yes! Burrata covering, which is formed of mozzarella, can be eaten. Its skin is delicious and safe to consume.
Buy the cheese as fresh as possible as it doesn't last too long!
Use it within 48 hours of buying.
It's ideal to have burrata sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
It's versatile and can be used raw or cooked (see how to serve).
Try this simple burrata recipe to get the taste of it and then be as creative as you can!

Burrata is magical combination of textures and a smooth rich creamy taste. It tastes like fresh mozzarella, but richer, creamier with a buttery note. Overall it has a mild taste and that's why it's beautifully dressed and used in many recipes!
As a source of potassium and calcium, it's a great way to get some minerals in. However like most dairy products, it's best eaten in moderation as it's a super rich cheese! The difference however is that Burrata cheese is always shared and spread among all servings :)
If you purchase at the grocery stores, then most probably yes it is pasteurized.
