Burrata with Basil Oil and Tomato

< back to recipes

Floridia Burrata is a natural cheese made from fresh pasteurized cow’s milk. The important thing to remember about this cheese is that while it’s made from mozzarella, burrata is not mozzarella cheese. Floridia Burrata is its own, very special type of cheese. Rich and buttery in flavour without being too indulgent, Floridia Burrata has an outer shell made from mozzarella that’s formed into a pouch and then filled with soft, stringy curd and fresh cream. The finished Burrata is then tied to form a little topknot pouch and packed with brine in a container. The real magic happens when Floridia Burrata is sliced open and the creamy insides spill out. Floridia Burrata is best served fresh at room temperature, goes well with salad, crusty bread, prosciutto, fresh tomatoes with olive oil and cracked pepper or in pasta. Best eaten within 24 hours.

Ingredients
  • 4 Floridia Burrata
  • 250 grams cherry tomato or truss tomato
  • ½ bunch of thyme
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 100 ml of extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 bunch of fresh basil
  • Salt to taste
Method
  1. Cut the tomatoes in half and place them on a baking tray lined
    with baking paper. Add thyme, finely chopped garlic, salt, and a
    drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
  2. Roast the tomatoes in the oven at 85°C for approximately 4
    hours, or until they begin to dehydrate.
  3. Pick the basil leaves and blanch them in boiling, salted water
    for about 30 seconds. Strain and cool immediately in ice water.
    Drain again and squeeze to remove excess water.
  4. Blend the blanched basil leaves with 100ml of extra virgin
    olive oil. Adjust seasoning with salt, then transfer the mixture
    to a squeeze bottle or piping bag.
  5. Carefully fill the burrata with the basil oil.
  6. Arrange the roasted tomatoes on the bottom of a serving plate
    and place the burrata on top. Finish with a generous drizzle of
    extra virgin olive oil.

Note: Leave the burrata at room temperature for at least 30 minutes
before serving. Serves 4.
