How to Apulian Burrata Emulsification

What You Need to Know

The technique involves slowly adding cream to a mixture of burrata cheese and butter while whisking, creating a stable emulsion through the formation of a complex network of lipids and proteins. The key variables are temperature, whisking speed, and cream addition rate. The optimal temperature for this process is around 22°C.

This technique is unique in that it uses a combination of burrata cheese, cream, and butter to create a rich and creamy sauce, commonly used in Apulian dishes such as panzerotto alla burrata.
