Trader Joe’s Burrata Filling (Stracciatella)
Pros: Trader Joe’s Burrata Filling offers a delightful blend of cream and curd, with long, stringy mozzarella shreds suspended in a luscious, creamy base. The textures blend seamlessly, creating a soft but not runny consistency. You can easily dollop it on crispy bread without worrying about seepage. The flavor is reminiscent of fresh mozzarella—lightly sweet, milky, and perfectly fatty, evoking memories of good string cheese. This filling adds a pop of freshness to any dish, whether it’s grilled summer veggies or a frozen pizza.
Cons: As this is just the burrata filling, there is no mozzarella ball around it, which some might miss. The absence of the cheese shell means missing out on the fun of cutting into it and watching the creamy interior spill out. While the flavor is excellent, it loses half a fun point for this reason.
How to Use Trader Joe’s Burrata:
Trader Joe’s Stracciatella Burrata Filling has a rich texture and mild sweetness, adding a cheesy, Italian flair to your summer entrées and side dishes. Dollop it onto hot-from-the-oven pizza or a plate of pasta primavera for an extra burst of flavor. Note: Keep fruit frozen while preparing the components of this dish.
You can enjoy Trader Joe’s Stracciatella Burrata Filling straight from the container with a spoon, but a favorite method is to toast half a baguette in olive oil and spread the burrata on top. Adding cherry tomatoes, basil leaves, olive oil, and flaky salt enhances the experience. The creamy, subtly sweet burrata pairs perfectly with tangy, salted tomatoes. This snack proved irresistible to both adults and selective children. Due to its limited availability, another trip to Trader Joe’s is planned to explore more uses like pizza topping, pasta dollops, and as a complement to broccoli rabe with pine nuts, along with enjoying it straight from the container.
