Nearly everyone who’s experienced it enjoys that moment when the Burrata ball is sliced open to reveal luscious cream loaded with shreds of fresh mozzarella. But not everyone knows that this coveted Burrata Filling is actually an Italian cheese on its own, known as Stracciatella. For a limited time, you can now buy Trader Joe’s Stracciatella Burrata Filling to bring cheesy, Italian flair to your summer entrées and side dishes.

Our Stracciatella is richly textured and mildly sweet, which makes it ideal for pairing with acidic flavors, like tomatoes. It’s also eminently spreadable, well-suited for topping bruschetta, or a piece of toasted Olive Fougasse. Drop dollops of Burrata Filling on your hot-from-the-oven pizza, or plate of pasta primavera. Of course, our Stracciatella also makes a great addition to a crisp green salad, drizzled with balsamic vinegar. And if you simply want to enjoy the unique character of this cheese like the Italians do, try eating it straight out of a bowl with a spoon. For a limited time, you’ll find tubs of Trader Joe’s Stracciatella Burrata Filling in our refrigerators among our multiple, molto bene, mozzarella varieties.
