    Di Stefano Burrata

    Chosen by
    From the Pomona family cheesemaker that helped make burrata a Los Angeles staple. Its “complex, grassy flavor” won over Mozza alum Chris Feldmeier, who serves it at Love & Salt in Manhattan Beach topped with whatever produce is in season. Whole Foods carries it.

  2. 2

    Vantia Burrata

    Chosen by
    #1 of seven store-bought burratas: “exceptional… even for a hand-spun ball straight from the cheesemaker’s hands,” with “a shockingly clean mouthfeel” and clear notes of fresh cream and salt. Costs a little more than most.

  3. 3

    Lioni Burrata con Panna

    Chosen by
    America’s Test Kitchen’s favorite burrata, from a Campanian family making mozzarella in New York since 1980. Tasters found it “beautifully creamy” with “fresh dairy” flavor; one raved, “I love the flavor more than any creamy thing I can think of—including desserts!”
