Mozzarella di Bufala Campana is an Italian mozzarella cheese made from buffalo milk in the following areas of Italy: Caserta, Salerno and part of Benevento province, Naples, Frosinone, Latina and Rome. The Italian city of Aversa in the province of Caserta is recognized as the origin of this cheese. The most famous Mozzarella di Bufala family-makers in Italy are Serra and Citarella families. They're known as the founders of Buffalo Mozzarella tradition. The origin of water buffalo cattle-breeding has to be found in the old marshlands between Naples and Caserta. There the plains were unused and inhospitable, for this reason the buffalos were bred in a wild state. More recently, with increasing consumption of this cheese, the cattle breeding can be more accurately described as semi-wild. The cheese holds a "Protected Designation of Origin" from the government of the European Union, and has been assigned the registry number 1107/96.
Buffalo Mozzarella - Production Stages International Marketing Buffalo Mozzarella cheese is now famous all over the world because many Italian factories are already exporting it to foreign countries, even as far as USA, Japan and Australia. However, this 'real' Mozzarella does not maintain ideal freshness beyond 12-24 hours. Many companies are researching and developing methods of local processing, including cattle-breeding and factory locations in other countries, to ensure quality. | ||||||||
