When we went to Italy years ago I was stunned to learn from a tour guide that real mozzarella is made with the milk of cape buffalo...aka: “water buffalo”.

Cape buffalo and water buffalo are not the same thing. I don’t think anyone’s ever milked a Cape Buffalo, and lived to tell of it.

If you ever get a chance to get some real buffalo mozzarella, do it! It is wonderful, wonderful stuff. Much creamier and softer than what we are used to.

There’s an Italian deli I like to go to where the owner makes fresh Mozzarella from water buffalo milk.

The Boccaccini are incredible.

There is also a Mediterranean water buffalo found in Italy and other subspecies of water buffalo are found in Eastern Europe.

Mozzarella di bufala. It’s the best, but only if you are eating it freshly made in Italy.

It’s made from this

A bit more docile and domestic

That’s why here if you want to pay for it it’s called Mozzarella Bufala and it’s about four times the price of Polly-O

Milking a Cape Buffalo would take some stocky and brave milkmaids

If one is making a real Italian pizza magharita it’s the nest to use
