Burrata suits simple plated starters with quality tomatoes, basil, and olive oil, premium pizza finishing after baking, charcuterie and antipasti boards, and pasta dishes where a rich, creamy dairy element is needed to finish the plate.
Puglia Cheese Burrata is a handcrafted fresh cheese made from 100% South African milk, produced at Puglia Cheese's facility in Somerset West using the traditional Italian technique of encasing a soft, creamy stracciatella filling within a delicate hand-spun Fior di Latte shell. Puglia Cheese pioneered burrata production in South Africa in 2010, bringing a format that was virtually unknown in the local market at the time and establishing a benchmark for Italian-style fresh cheese that has held ever since. The result is a cheese that delivers the characteristic contrast of textures — a firm, clean outer layer giving way to a rich, oozing centre — that defines great burrata wherever it is made.
The 2026 South African Dairy Product of the Year, named at the SA Dairy Championships from a record field of over 1,200 entries, Puglia Burrata is the most decorated fresh cheese produced in South Africa. Supplied in a convenient 10 x 130g bucket format, it suits fine dining restaurants, premium delis, and specialty food retailers across Cape Town and the Western Cape looking for an award-winning, locally produced burrata with genuine Italian craft behind it.


Puglia Cheese was founded in Cape Town in 2010 by three Italian friends from the Puglia region, driven by a simple ambition: to bring authentic Italian mozzarella craft to South Africa. What began as a small artisan dairy quickly earned recognition, winning multiple awards at the South African Dairy Championships and becoming the first producer of burrata in the country.
Every cheese in the Puglia range is made by hand using traditional Italian methods, from fresh Fior di Latte and burrata to scamorza, ricotta, and a dedicated pizza mozzarella. Locally produced but authentically Italian in character, Puglia Cheese brings genuine artisan dairy quality to professional kitchens and retailers across South Africa.
