Burrata di Andria PGI is one of Italy’s oldest Geographical Indications and one of the most important dairy products, in terms of notoriety and numbers, from its region of origin: Apulia. “Progetto Burrata” is a very innovative research project carried out in collaboration with the Universities of Foggia and Bari. It aims to extend the shelf life of this dairy specialty, enabling it to reach distant markets.

“Progetto Burrata was created as part of the enhancement activities carried out by the Consortium,” says Francesco Mennea, General Manager of the Consortium for the protection of Burrata di Andria PGI. “The goal is to enable producers to reach even the most distant markets, such as Southeast Asian countries or the Far East, which due to the short shelf-life that currently characterizes burrata are difficult to reach."
