Mozzarella-and-cream cheese often served as an appetizer

Once upon a time in a small village in Italy, there was a cheesemaker named Carlo who loved to experiment with different cheese combinations. One day, he accidentally mixed mozzarella and cream cheese together while working in his shop. Not wanting to waste the results of his mistake, Carlo decided to try to sell the cheese at his local market.

At first, people were skeptical of the new cheese with the unusual texture and flavor. But after tasting it, they were hooked. The cheese became so popular that Carlo became famous throughout the region for his creation. He named the cheese “Burrata,” which means “buttery” in Italian, because of its rich, creamy taste.

Soon, Burrata became a favorite appetizer at local restaurants and made its way onto menus around the world. And that’s why, to this day, when you see a crossword clue describing a cheese often served as an appetizer made from mozzarella and cream cheese, the answer is always Burrata – the delicious cheese that was born out of a happy accident in a small Italian village.
