Mozarella di Bufala

CODE P87061

Mozzarella di Bufala DOP is a fresh cheese made with the milk of the domestic buffalo, typical of southern Italy. Buffalo’s milk is higher in calcium, protein and lower in cholesterol than cow’s milk used for “standard” mozzarella (Fior di Latte). Although both Fior di Latte and Mozzarella di Bufala DOP belong to the family of stretched curd cheeses (formaggi a pasta filata), the use of Buffalo’s milk makes the flavor of Buffalo mozzarella more intense, with a pleasant acidity. The consistency is different as well, as Buffalo mozzarella is softer and more elastic and – when cut – it releases a larger quantity of milk than Fior di Latte.
