Mozzarella di Bufala Campana DOP

Campania

Authentic buffalo mozzarella from the birthplace of the tradition. Made in small dairies in Campania with extraordinary care — still pulled by hand, still made with the same methods that have defined this cheese for centuries.

Our standard

Buffalo milk. DOP certified. Made to order.

Mozzarella di Bufala Campana DOP is one of Italy's great protected foods — a cheese so tied to its territory that the law defines not just the method but the geography of its production. Made from the milk of water buffalo raised in the plains of Campania, it is pulled by hand, formed fresh, and consumed within days. There is no substitute for the real thing: the texture, the milky sweetness, the slight acidity, the way it yields when cut.

What defines this category

100% buffalo milk from Campania
DOP certified — protected designation of origin
Hand-pulled using traditional pasta filata method
Made to order — no long-shelf-life product
Available fresh, in brine, or smoked (affumicata)

How we select

We work with small dairies in Campania that produce in limited quantities. Because this is a fresh product, availability is managed carefully and orders are coordinated with production schedules.

Our producers

Our mozzarella producer, Caseificio Romano, operates in the heart of the Campania DOP zone. The Romano family has been making buffalo mozzarella for three generations using the same methods — no shortcuts, no industrial equipment.
