Burrini is made in areas throughout southern Italy with origins in the regions of Molise, Basilicata and Calabria. The process of making Burrini cheese is made by hand-shaping a fresh cheese (such as mozzarella or provolone) around a ball of butter, then tying it at the top.
Burrini is white or yellow in colour on the inside and straw-coloured on the outside. It has a creamy consistency and a pungent aroma. Burrini made from the milk of Podolica cows is particularly highly prized. It is eaten by being spread on toasted bread and enjoyed with a white wine or a sparkling rosé.
