Buffalo Milk Mozzarella Cheese

By:

Now that I've been to Ramini Mozzarella, I LOVE mozzarella that’s been handmade using rich, creamy milk that comes fresh from the buffalo—or, as the cheese is called in Italian, mozzarella di bufala.

Mozzarella cheese made from buffalo milk is called mozzarella di bufala (which means “mozzarella from buffalo”), but the same type of cheese made from cow’s milk is called fior di latte (that means “milk flower”).

When it comes to great cheese, the region where it’s made is also a big deal. In Italy, mozzarella di bufala is mostly made in Campania and Apulia. The Petaluma/Tomales Bay region of California where we live is a famous American cheesemaking area—and it has a Mediterranean climate that’s pretty similar to Italy.

The best way to eat is very simply. You can eat it plain, drizzle on some olive oil or make a salad with tomatoes. However you serve it, it is AWESOME!!!!!
