About Buffala
Buffala, a staple in Italian cuisine, refers to mozzarella made from the milk of water buffalo. Creamy, smooth, and slightly tangy, it’s prized for its rich flavor and delicate texture, often served fresh in salads like caprese or as a topping on pizzas. Unlike cow's milk mozzarella, Buffala contains higher levels of fat and protein, offering a creamy indulgence that’s also a source of calcium and vitamins like B12. However, its dense fat content means moderation is key for those watching cholesterol. Low in carbohydrates, Buffala is a suitable option for gluten-free or low-carb diets, and its protein content supports muscle growth and repair. This artisanal cheese originated in Southern Italy, particularly the Campania region, and remains a symbol of tradition and quality. Pairing it with antioxidant-rich ingredients like tomatoes and basil enhances its nutritional profile while creating a harmonious and health-conscious dish.
