While freezing can be a handy method to extend the life of many foods, it's not ideal for all cheeses. While varieties that are meant to be melted can handle freezing, burrata should be avoided altogether. The creamy texture of burrata is susceptible to freezing, which causes water molecules to expand and crystals to form, disrupting its consistency. Best enjoyed fresh, burrata should ideally be consumed the same day it's bought, as its quality decreases rapidly after being removed from packaging.
Freezing cheese can affect its texture significantly; while some cheeses fare well, burrata is one to avoid due to its delicate, creamy structure.
Due to its moisture content, freezing burrata disrupts its creamy texture, leading to an undesirable watery consistency that defeats its purpose of being a fresh cheese.
Burrata, known for its rich interior, is intended to be consumed fresh, ideally the same day of purchase, rather than frozen for future use.
When freezing cheese, those that are meant to be melted work best, but burrata's quality rapidly deteriorates if stored improperly.
