100-Year-Old Italian Burrata Cheese Gains Popularity in India

Burrata is a special kind of cheese that was invented about 100 years ago in Italy.

A man named Lorenzo Bianchino made it by mixing leftover mozzarella curds with cream and wrapping them in mozzarella.

This cheese is very creamy and has a delicate flavor.

It has become very popular all over the world, including in India.

In India, people love to eat burrata in salads and on pizzas.

Chefs say it's best to eat burrata at room temperature with simple things like tomatoes and herbs.

It's not meant to be cooked or frozen.

A book called '100 Years of Burrata' tells the story of this cheese and how it's made.

People in India and other places enjoy burrata because it's creamy and tastes good with many different foods.
