Using two types of cheese makes this burrata risotto exceptional: fresh Parmesan and creamy burrata cheese. Parmesan is naturally salty and will help season and bring your dish together. It binds the rice with your other ingredients and enhances that creamy texture. I find that creamy burrata adds a delicious creaminess to risotto that Parmesan can't touch. Burrata is a really creamy version of mozzarella, so it's much softer than Parmesan and naturally tender. It tastes amazing in risotto, and you should get a ball of burrata for your next risotto!
