Julienne Bruno's Vegan-Friendly Burrella Enhances Salad & Pasta

From trendhunter.com 

Julienne Bruno's Burrella is a wholly plant-based burrata alternative that's best served cold and used to enhance everything from salads to pastas. This delicate, award-winning product boasts a firm bite and a creamy interior, offering an enticing alternative to the cheese it was inspired by, made with a soya drink base, plus ingredients such as coconut oil, and salt, plus lactic acid, select stabilizers and emulsifiers.

A new generation of consumers refuses to compromise on indulgence simply because they've chosen a plant-forward or lactose-free lifestyle. For these eaters, plant-based burrata isn't about sacrifice but about finding a creamy, luxurious experience that honours the spirit of the original while aligning with their values.

Alongside Burrella, Julienne Bruno's Collection 01 features innovative cheese alternatives like creamy, whipped spreads and fresh, rich curds.

3. Functional Stabilizers and Emulsifiers — The strategic use of lactic acid, stabilizers and emulsifiers is enabling consistent texture and shelf stability in plant-based dairy analogues, shifting formulation science toward ingredient-driven performance.

Industry Implications

2. Foodservice and Hospitality — Restaurants and catering operators are presented with menu differentiation opportunities by featuring indulgent vegan cheese alternatives that maintain presentation and mouthfeel in salads and pastas.
3. Retail Grocery and Specialty Foods — Specialty retailers and supermarket deli counters may attract shoppers through curated plant-based cheese collections and premium-format items positioned alongside traditional fresh cheeses.
