Storage and reheating

  • Fridge: up to 1 days
  • Freezer: not recommended
  • Serve chilled or at room temperature. Do not reheat because the burrata will lose its fresh texture.

Ingredient substitutions

Burrata

  • Fresh mozzarella: Less creamy than burrata, but traditional in Italian tomato and basil plates.

Cherry tomato

  • Grape tomato: Use ripe small tomatoes with a sweet flavor and firm skin.

Basil

  • Small basil leaf: Choose tender leaves and tear only if they are large.

Olive oil

  • Extra virgin olive oil: Use a fruity oil to match the Puglian style of the dish.

Salt

  • Sea salt: Crush large flakes before measuring for even seasoning.

Black pepper

  • White pepper: Use less because the aroma is sharper and less fruity.
