Belgioioso Fresh Burrata Cup

BelGioioso Fresh Burrata Cup is a small, refrigerated specialty cheese sold in an 8 oz clear plastic cup that cradles a delicate ball of fresh burrata in its milky liquid. You’ll most often find it in the refrigerated cheese case alongside fresh mozzarella, ricotta and other soft Italian-style cheeses, or near the deli and antipasti items and heirloom tomatoes and basil at the produce endcap. It reads like an artisan, everyday-luxe item: “natural cheese,” rBST-free, and even offers a pronunciation cue (bel-joy-oso), positioning it as authentic Italian-style comfort made in Wisconsin. The brand targets shoppers who want restaurant-quality ingredients for at-home entertaining or elevated weeknight meals — foodies, home cooks, and those seeking a premium, simple ingredient to build from. The label leans on wholesome and artisanal cues rather than kid-focused graphics or organic certification; it highlights “natural” and hormone-free claims but does not carry organic or non-GMO seals. In plain processing terms it’s a minimally transformed dairy product: pasteurized milk and cream curdled with vinegar and set with enzymes, then salted and packed. Sensory-first, the burrata’s exterior is a soft mozzarella shell that gives way to a cool, creamy, slightly tangy stracciatella center; it is spooned or torn onto crostini, heirloom tomatoes, pizza, or a simple olive oil-and-salt plate. The ritual often involves gently draining the cup, arranging the cheese whole or torn, and finishing with olive oil, cracked pepper and basil — a quick, showy centerpiece for brunch, a starter for a casual dinner party, or an indulgent addition to salads and sandwiches.
