Mozzarella di Bufala Campana DOP/AOP

Since 1981 the Consorzio di Tutela Mozzarella di Bufala Campana DOP/PDO has been engaged in supporting and making Mozzarella di Bufala Campana known throughout Italy and the rest of the world.

It is the only organisation recognised by the Italian Ministry of Agriculture for the safeguarding, control, valorisation and promotion of this extraordinary cheese.

Mozzarella di Bufala Campana is a fresh spun cheese, whose unique characteristics are due to the fresh buffalo milk produced in the area of origin, a particularly tasty and digestible milk, rich in proteins and minerals. 

The production regulations require the exclusive use of fresh, full fat buffalo milk from the farms in the DOP/PDO area. Around 4 liters of buffalo milk are required to make 1 kg of Mozzarella di Bufala Campana. 

Areas of origin – Central-Southern Italy: Campania (provinces of Caserta, Salerno, Naples and Benevento); Lazio (provinces of Latina, Frosinone and Rome); province of Foggia (Apulia); district of Venafro (Molise). The provinces of Caserta and Salerno represent around 90% of the DOP certified production. There are 3 National Parks (Circeo, Cilento and Gargano) in the DOP/PDO area and up to 10 Regional Parks.
