Cheese is one of the most loved foods, it is present in preparations such as pizzas, lasagnas, hamburgers, or sandwiches, but the flavors that cheese offers On their own they also make it a perfect food to eat without accompaniment.
Manchego cheese, Cabrales, Tetilla, Burgos, Mahón, Majorero or Grazalema are just some of the types of cheeses that exist in Spain, which join the most popular around the world such as edam, cheddar, roquefort, brie, feta, gouda, parmedano or mozzarella, for example.
They can be made with different types of milk, such as goat, cow, or sheepand the process by which they are made is the key to making each one unique and producing such different flavors between the same type of food. For example, finding contrasts such as the flavor of a very intense pecorino cheese or the softness of ricotta cheese.
Among some of the softest cheeses with less fat, therefore, healthier compared to other cheeses, we find burrata and mozzarella. Both are very white, ball-shaped, soft and not very intense in flavor, however, they are different from each other and they are not the same cheese.
To reaffirm this fact, Boticaria Garcíaa doctor of pharmacy and popular nutritionist on social networks, has shared on her social networks the explanation of the differences between a burrata and a mozzarella, both products widely consumed in our country although their origin is not Spanish.
Difference between burrata and mozzarella
According to Boticaria’s explanation, the difference between mozzarella and burrata at first glance is practically impossible, but we can tell which is which when we open them and eat them. «The difference is not in the dough, but in the cream. How do we distinguish them? In addition to reading the label, one will say ‘cream’ and not the other. We can differentiate them in consistency,” the expert begins by explaining.
According to what he says, mozarrella is made “entirely” with pasta filata and has more consistency, while burrata only has that pasta filata on the outside, forming “a kind of casing that, when you prick it, the filling with cream is already coming out. Also, stracciatella is creamier. The stracciatella in this case is the mixture of the threads with the cream, which comes from the Italian word ‘stracciato’, whose meaning in Spanish is ‘shattered’.
Although both foods are different, they share something else besides appearance, such as that they are both usually made with cow or buffalo milk. Furthermore, both are lower in calories than other cheeses and provide minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, selenium or zinc, in addition to helping to improve the absorption of vitamin B12. Of the two, burrata has slightly more calories than mozzarella.
