Pizza Bufala is a classic favorite made with tomato sauce, bufala mozzarella and basil. Bufala Mozzarella, or “Burrata” (pronounced boor-AH-tah) is a very special cheese, which is made by a family owned and operated dairy right here in Southern California, and is the most authentic producer of Burrata in the United States.
Burrata looks like a lump of cow’s milk mozzarella but when you bite into it, you will experience a luscious, light creamy texture that slowly fills your mouth. Delicious! This is because the family uses only the finest Italian panna (cream) to create this masterpiece. The word Burrata is derived from the Italian word for butter.
The Pizza Bufala is initially cooked in the oven without the cheese and then after the burrata is added, it is put back into the oven to cook for a brief period. This ensures that the cheese will taste to perfection with a lovely texture.
Burrata cheese is also wonderful in a caprese appetizer and with crusty bread. Pair it with a Pinot Grigio and enjoy!
