Fattorie Garofalo Mozzarella di Bufala Campana DOP is an authentic Italian buffalo mozzarella made with 100% buffalo milk from certified PDO areas in Campania, Italy. This premium fresh mozzarella cheese features a porcelain pearly-white color with a smooth, shiny surface and thin outer crust that distinctly separates from the creamy cheese curd. Each package contains 4 individually wrapped cheese balls (4.4 oz each, 125g) in natural brine, totaling 17.6 oz (500g). Flown in weekly from Naples, Italy to ensure maximum freshness.
The mozzarella is produced by Fattorie Garofalo, the world's largest buffalo milk processing company, which processes 38 million liters of milk annually. Made according to traditional methods dating back centuries, this DOP certified cheese uses only whole buffalo milk with minimum protein content of 4.2% and fat content of 7.2%. The production process involves natural whey culture acidification, natural veal rennet coagulation, curd aging for approximately 5 hours, thermal spinning with boiling water, and forming before salting in cold brine solutions. The resulting cheese has a distinctive creamy texture that is slightly elastic when fresh, becoming creamier over time.
This versatile cheese can be enjoyed on its own, paired with vegetables or cold cuts, in caprese salad, on pizza, or in countless other culinary applications. The authentic buffalo mozzarella offers a rich, delicate flavor with the characteristic mild taste of milk enzymes. When cut, milky whey droplets emerge, indicating freshness and quality.
