Italian Buffalo Mozzarella, the Pearl of the Table - Episode 44

Deep dive into Italian Buffalo Mozzarella: Delicious milky and soft buffalo mozzarella cheese is made from Italian water buffalo milk (not to be confused with the North American concept of a buffalo which is actually a bison). Buffalo mozzarella has a porcelain white color and is known as the pearl of the table. It’s a flavorful fresh stringy textured cheese with a very thin rind. When you cut into it its delicious white milky liquid seeps out. It’s undisputed that Italian buffalo mozzarella is the best and that depends so much on climate and Italy‘s old world approach to buffalo mozzarella production. In Italy it’s quite natural to expect that your cheese is made locally on the same day that you purchase it.
