Mozzarella di bufala is a traditional Italian cheese made from the milk of water buffalo. Originating from the Campania region, particularly around Naples, it is known for its rich, creamy texture and slightly tangy flavor. The cheese is typically produced in small, round balls and is often enjoyed fresh. This cheese is a key ingredient in many Italian dishes, including Caprese salad and pizza. Due to its unique taste and quality, mozzarella di bufala is often considered a delicacy and is protected by the European Union's PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) status, ensuring its authenticity and production methods.
