Trader Joe’s is known for offering some solid products, and this month’s deals are no exception. Shoppers are “taking home five boxes” of this seasonal treat and folks are raving about a new $3 snack.
Shoppers said this dessert is so good they “ate the whole box,” but that’s not even close to the most excited responses we’ve seen from Trader Joe’s fans. That would be for a certain limited-time item that fans devoured before they even got home the last time it was on shelves.
And now: It’s back. Grab your purse forks.
Trader Joe’s Burrata Filling “Stracciatella” Is Back
Say hello (again) to Burrata Filling “Stracciatella,” which sold out quickly at many TJ’s locations last year. According to the packaging, the limited-time product features “shreds of fresh mozzarella cheese soaked in cream.”
On the Trader Joe’s website, it’s described as the super-creamy inside of a Burrata ball. But it’s actually not the inside of a Burrata ball. This Italian cheese is known as Stracciatella. And fans are still discovering the endless possibilities with this “filling.”
Even better: The price hasn’t gone up since last year. The item is still listed at $4.49.
Last year, Instagram user @traderjoeslist said the Burrata Filling “Stracciatella” is a must and posted a video about the TJ’s find, betting that “cottage cheese is just crying right now.”
Many were quick to comment on how they use this find, with one describing a delicious-sounding salad: “Chop tomatoes, [combine with] the jar peaches from TJ’s, that entire container of [Stracciatella] cheese, prosciutto, basil, salt, and balsamic glaze.” Someone else added, “I put it on pizza as soon as it finished baking, and it was AMAZING.”
Other commenters offered their ideas as well: “I put this on toasted Trader Joe’s sourdough with roasted tomatoes [and] balsamic glaze” and “I made a Caprese salad with this. So delicious.”
However, you don’t have to eat it with anything, as one user explained: “I bought this, asked for a spoon at the register, and ate the entire thing in my car. It was glorious.”
With so many ways to enjoy this spreadable cheese, it’s no wonder many also said it can be hard to find in stores. “Our store has been out of it already for a few weeks,” someone commented last year.
If you want to try this Burrata Filling “Stracciatella,” it’s best to hurry to your nearest Trader Joe’s location now— if you’re lucky enough to find it this year!
