Lioni’s Burrata Con Panna Named “Favorite Burrata” by America’s Test Kitchen and Cook’s Illustrated

Union, NJ — June 2025 — Lioni Latticini’s Burrata Con Panna has been recognized as the favorite burrata by the experts at America’s Test Kitchen and Cook’s Illustrated. This prestigious honor underscores Lioni’s commitment to authentic Italian cheesemaking and highlights the brand's dedication to quality, taste, and tradition.

In a recent comparative tasting, America’s Test Kitchen named Lioni their top choice, citing its ideal 1:1 ratio of sturdy mozzarella shell to thick, ultra-creamy filling. Judges described it as “a beautifully creamy cheese with a fresh dairy flavor.”

Cook’s Illustrated also praised Lioni Latticini, noting the company as a maker of their two highest-ranked burrata products—a testament to Lioni’s consistent artisanal excellence. Both Lioni’s Burrata Con Panna and Stracciatella are crafted using only the finest imported Italian cream, delivering unparalleled richness and authenticity and are known for delivering a level of quality rarely matched in mass-market dairy.

Lioni’s Burrata Con Panna is available in various sizes (8 oz, 4 oz, and 2.5 oz) to meet the needs of both retail consumers and foodservice professionals.

Lioni products can be found in restaurants, specialty food retailers and fine grocers across the U.S.
