The cheese factory with more than 1,500 breeding cattle is located in the Countryside of Sele plan. Here, a family of farmers passionately cares for its “bufale” offering them the beat conditions for living and producing high quality milk. Strict and continous analysis certify and guarantee the exceptional quality.
The most important product is the Mozzarella of Bufala. The term comes from the verb “to cut off”, that is the manual separation of spun paste that is made, still today, with a sliding motion between thumb and forefinger. According to tradition, the milk was made into tasty variations thanks to the expert hands of a master cheese maker, in the same room or in an adiacent room to what in which it was milked.
Mozzarella is an easily digestible cheese with a reduced-sodium, lactose and cholesterol. It is more dietary than other derivates thanks to the moderate fat. The presence of calcium, phosphorus and vitamins helps to counteract the negative actions of free radicals.
