About Buffalo mozzarella

Buffalo mozzarella, or Mozzarella di Bufala, is a soft, creamy cheese made from the milk of water buffalo, primarily in southern Italy, particularly Campania. Known for its rich, tangy flavor and silky texture, this Italian delicacy is a staple in Mediterranean cuisine, featured in dishes like caprese salad, pizza, and pasta. Nutritionally, it’s a good source of high-quality protein, calcium, and essential vitamins like B12. It also contains beneficial fats that support brain and cell health. However, buffalo mozzarella is relatively high in saturated fat and sodium, so portion control is advised, particularly for those monitoring heart health or sodium intake. This cheese is prized for its fresh, unprocessed nature and the absence of synthetic additives, making it a wholesome option when enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
