Beloved Burrata

Burrata: A Journey Through Craft, Flavour & Tradition, created by That’s Amore founder and award-winning cheesemaker Giorgio Linguanti, celebrates his passion for crafting exceptional cheese and showcases the versatility of burrata through a collection of inspiring recipes.

Giorgio became a cheesemaker through his love of creating an almost unlimited number of products from just one ingredient, milk. The ancient art of cheesemaking involves patience, dedication and love. Burrata is indeed a testament to these virtues as it brings together a variety of textures in the one delicate and delicious parcel. Having perfected the art of producing this cheese, there remained a strong desire to uncover its true mystique.

This publication delves into Italy’s rich heritage through time-honoured recipes, crafted over years, while unfolding the story of burrata origins — a cow’s milk cheese made of an outer layer of mozzarella with an interior of stracciatella and lush cream born on the sun-drenched southern coast of Italy’s Puglia region.

Readers are taken on a captivating journey through the rolling landscape of Puglia, where the time-honoured traditions of Italian cheesemaking techniques meet contemporary culinary creativity. Linguanti shares the stories of dedicated artisans who have mastered the craft of burrata, revealing how it has earned its place as a cherished cheese around the globe.

Featuring a collection of more than 60 recipes, Burrata shows the rich history of the cheese and celebrates its creamy and luxurious texture in an array of dishes — from breakfast to sides and indulgent desserts.

Burrata: A Journey Through Craft, Flavour & Tradition is now available to purchase at all good bookstores or online via Readings, Booktopia and Amazon.
