Mozzarella di Bufala Campana

Food · PDO · 19 municipalities

Mozzarella di Bufala Campana PDO stands apart from generic fresh cheeses through its strict geographical delimitation, stretching into Puglia where production is restricted to nineteen authorized municipalities, including Apricena and Foggia. Recognized since 1996, this denomination is safeguarded by the Consorzio per la Tutela del Formaggio Mozzarella di Bufala Campana. Today, only eighty-five verified producers are permitted to craft this buffalo milk cheese under the protected name. This precise territorial limit and exclusive cohort of makers distinguish the PDO from neighbouring dairy products, ensuring that any cheese bearing the name originates solely from these certified municipalities.
