Fresh cheese with 0-1g net carbs per ounce and high fat content from cream center. Minimal processing and no added sugars.
Burrata is a fresh cheese made from cow milk with a creamy center. It is a dairy product and not vegan.
Dairy cheese product made from milk curds and cream. Excluded from paleo diet as dairy was not available to Paleolithic humans.

Fresh cheese with cream filling containing significant lactose. Monash rates fresh cheeses at 30g, but burrata's cream center concentrates lactose. Strict portion control required.
iMonash University rates burrata as low-FODMAP at 30g, but clinical practitioners often recommend 20g or less due to lactose concentration in cream filling.
Fresh cheese with high saturated fat (>4g per ounce) and moderate sodium. Cream-filled center adds significant fat. Does not meet DASH low-fat dairy criteria.
~19g protein per 100g with ~19g fat (mostly saturated). Low carb favorable, but saturated fat profile requires portion control. Creamy interior increases fat concentration. Usable in Zone meals with careful balancing.
Fresh cheese with high saturated fat and cream center. Minimal fermentation means few anti-inflammatory compounds. Acceptable occasionally but not a staple.
Soft cheese with 6g protein but 17g fat per 100g serving. High fat content, creamy texture, and rich flavor directly trigger nausea, bloating, and reflux in GLP-1 patients. Poor protein-to-fat ratio makes it unsuitable for reduced-calorie eating.
