a mozzarella that hides a molten heart of cream and curd, and dares you not to gasp
means A fresh Italian cheese made of an outer shell of mozzarella enclosing a soft, oozy filling of stringy curd and cream.
from From Italian burrata, the feminine of burrato, "buttery," built on burro, "butter" — itself from Latin butyrum, a borrowing of Greek boutyron, traditionally read as "cow-cheese" (bous, cow + tyros, cheese). The name is honest marketing: it promises butter, and the molten heart delivers. Burrata hails from Puglia in southern Italy, where the story goes it began as a thrifty way to use up scraps of mozzarella and cream rather than waste them.
