The Grocer’s New Product Award 2026: Cheese

Champion: Galbani Burrata Minis

For those used to wading through an apple-sized dollop of creamy burrata, these ultra-convenient 30g portions by Galbani open up a smorgasbord of new consumption possibilities for the trending soft Italian cheese.

Made in Italy, the bite-sized burrata chunks can be easily scattered on salads or pasta dishes or brought out for summer entertaining occasions, all without wasting a morsel. “These are lovely little siblings to the larger burrata,” said our judges, “offering the same great quality in a perfectly snackable size.” They also praised the affordable price point and clear on-pack communication, complemented by a “fresh, appetising illustration that really stands out”.
