On the Roots of Mozzarella di Bufala

Where does the best mozzarella in the world come from? We have been to Tenuta Vannulo, one of the most important and oldest dairy farms of Italy, located near Salerno, in the south. We witnessed the production of mozzarella made of buffalo milk, the most exclusive product of southern Italy. The buffaloes are in about five hundred, and the animals are massaged and pampered to get the most from them. The processing of the mozzarella starts at 4 AM with milking, and at 10 AM it’s already all sold out.

The particularity of this workshop is that they don’t export their product: if you want some, you have to go get it there! This guarantees an excellent quality and a good relationship with the customer. So if you have planned a trip to Italy, you just have to pay a visit to Tenuta Vannulo and have the opportunity to taste some of the most traditional cheese history of the country.
