Because la dolce vita is also hearty: One of the most sought-after Italian imports is the creamy buffalo mozzarella, which makes every dish a pleasure. We take you on a culinary journey through the picturesque landscapes of the south to get to the bottom of the Italian roots of the cheese favorite.

A real Italian

Real Italians know: Mozzarella is not just mozzarella. There are big differences, especially when it comes to the popular buffalo version of cheese. Because the Italian original, Mozzarella di Bufala Campana D.O.P., cannot simply be made anywhere: Authentic buffalo mozzarella has to be produced in and around the Campania region on the Italian west coast. In the associated districts around Naples, Salerno and Caserna, the production of buffalo mozzarella is therefore part of day-to-day business. Our Mozzarella di Bufala Campana D.O.P. Comes directly from Campania, where the cheese is made in a small family dairy according to tradition and by hand. For a particularly high-quality result, our Mozzarella di Bufala is made from buffalo milk, which comes from ethical and species-appropriate animal husbandry. The animals are kept on natural pastures and receive a balanced diet. In this way we can guarantee a particularly sustainable and authentic Italian buffalo mozzarella for your taste experience.
