Once you open it, fresh mozzarella or burrata will keep refrigerated for five days. Same goes for shredded mozzarella, despite whatever date is stamped on the package. Loaf mozzarella has a 21-day refrigerator shelf life once opened, and smoked mozzarella will keep for 28 days, according to Strange.

How long does burrata last unopened?

Placed in an airtight container and covered with water, burrata should be stored in a refrigerator for up to five days.

Can you eat burrata after expiration date?

Burrata is best eaten as soon as possible after it's made. After all, it's classified as a fresh cheese! Eat the burrata the same day as you cut into it and as soon as you can after you buy it. After several days, it will go bad and the flavor will turn sour.
