Trader Joe's Burrata Filling Stracciatella Review: The Drama-Free Burrata

If you’ve ever found yourself digging into a ball of burrata just to get to that luscious, creamy center, then Trader Joe’s Burrata Filling Stracciatella is about to become your new best friend. This product skips the outer cheese “purse” and gives you all that rich, silky, stracciatella goodness in one convenient container.

Review

Trader Joe’s Burrata Filling Stracciatella is essentially the creamy, dreamy interior of burrata, no delicate mozzarella casing, just the best part. It comes in a small plastic tub that might look unassuming, but don’t let that fool you. Inside is a luxurious blend of shredded mozzarella soaked in heavy cream, giving you the ultimate creamy, salty, and satisfying experience.

From the moment I peeled back the lid, I knew I was in for something special. The stracciatella is beautifully thick and glossy, with visible ribbons of shredded mozzarella swimming in a bath of cream that practically begs to be spread on warm bread. It’s a little piece of burrata heaven right in my fridge.

The first bite? Absolute magic. It’s rich and creamy, with just the right balance of saltiness that makes it so addicting. The mozzarella shreds give it a bit of structure, while the cream coats your palate in the most luxurious way. It’s the kind of thing that makes you close your eyes and just savor the moment.

One of the things I love most about this product is its versatility. Sure, it’s a showstopper spread on a toasted baguette with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt. But it’s also fantastic as a topping for roasted vegetables, pizza, or even a simple pasta dish. It instantly elevates whatever you add it to, making it taste like a restaurant-worthy creation.

And let’s not forget about the convenience. Normally, you’d have to buy a whole ball of burrata and carefully slice it open to get to the stracciatella filling. With this product, Trader Joe’s has done the hard work for you. No fuss, no mess. Just pure creamy goodness ready to be enjoyed whenever the craving hits.

If I had one tiny gripe, it’s that I wish the container was just a little bigger. Once you start, it’s hard to stop, and that container empties out way too fast. But honestly, that’s a small price to pay for the joy this brings. If I had a bigger gripe, this product is seasonal. Why is burrata filling seasonal? I am unclear. This should be available year-round.
