The history of Burrata starts in the first decades of the last century: during heavy snowfall, it was impossible to bring milk to the city from the farms. So, in order to not waste it, it was necessary to transform it. On that occasion, the local cheesemaker Lorenzo Bianchino had the idea of creating a "bag" of spun dough in which to contain frays made of the same pasta, immersed in the cream that emerged from the milk (the so-called stracciatella). He closed everything and carefully shaped the mouthpiece, giving it its characteristic apical shape. Thus, the first Burrata di Andria was born one of the most precious and particular dairy products of Puglia.
From February 2018, it is possible to buy the Andria IGP burrata at various sales points and in multiple distribution channels of the consortium brands and the different leaf, tray, and jar formats.
