Serving and Storage Suggestions

Burrata is a very delicate cheese and handling of the product should be limited. We suggest removing the seal from the cup and draining the water. Portion the cheese while still inside the cup. Remove the portions to be eaten and reseal remaining portions. Use within 1-2 days for best flavor.
