Caputo Cheese Debuts 2 oz. Burrata: A Luxuriously Creamy Bite in Every Dish

CHICAGO, IL – Caputo Cheese, a leading manufacturer of award-winning Fresh Mozzarella and hard Italian cheeses, is expanding its Fresh Mozzarella portfolio with its new 2 oz. Burrata. Offering the indulgent flavor and signature decadence of Caputo’s traditional Burrata in a convenient, individual portion, the new format will elevate everything from appetizers and fresh salads to entrées and shareable small plates.

A star in the Mozzarella family, Burrata features a delicate outer shell of Fresh Mozzarella with a rich, creamy Stracciatella center. When sliced open, its luscious interior creates a stunning presentation and an irresistible contrast of textures, making it a natural centerpiece for any menu. Caputo Cheese’s new 2 oz. format offers chefs, foodservice operators, retailers, and culinary professionals greater flexibility to incorporate this premium cheese into a variety of applications.

“Our team has worked so hard to offer customizable cheese solutions to all of our clientele,” said Natale Caputo, CEO of Caputo Cheese. “This Burrata version will elevate any cheese experience, and we’re proud to offer a product that makes this level of indulgence accessible across a range of applications. We’ve optimized the format and packaging to make it easy to feature Burrata in any meal or enjoy it on its own. The versatility is endless, and we are excited for people to try it.”

At the heart of every Burrata is Stracciatella, the creamy filling that gives the cheese its distinctive character. Derived from the Italian word stracciato, meaning “torn apart,” Stracciatella consists of delicate shreds of fresh mozzarella blended with rich cream. The result is a soft, velvety texture and delicate milky flavor that complements everything from ripe seasonal produce and grilled vegetables to artisan breads, pastas, and roasted proteins.
