What is Mozzarella di Bufala Campana DOP
Mozzarella di Bufala Campana is one of Italy’s most prestigious PDO cheeses, recognised since 1996 and protected by EU Reg. 1107/96. Production is restricted to specific zones in Campania (Caserta, Salerno, Naples), Lazio (Latina, Frosinone), Puglia (Foggia) and Molise, using exclusively buffalo milk (Bubalus bubalis) from local farms. The pasta filata technique, with manual hand-stretching at 90 degrees Celsius and immediate cooling in liquid of governance, is the disciplinare-mandated process that defines authentic DOP texture and flavour.
The Mozzarella di Bufala Campana DOP Consortium
The Consorzio Tutela Mozzarella di Bufala Campana DOP groups over 100 certified producers and supervises the entire supply chain from buffalo milking to retail packaging. Each pack carries the official DOP seal and a traceability code linking back to the original caseificio. The Ovoline format of 25 g is the standard size for restaurant antipasti, salads and direct caprese plating. This reference is distributed in Switzerland by Sorì Italia SRL, specialist of Italian PDO/IGP food products.
Organoleptic and technical characteristics
Bright porcelain white colour, smooth elastic crust, fibrous fondant interior that releases a slight milky liquor when cut, sweet and fresh aroma of buffalo milk with herbaceous and slightly tangy finish. Fat on dry matter minimum 52 percent, dough humidity 50 to 60 percent. Pasteurised buffalo milk, natural whey starter, rennet and salt: no preservatives, no additives. Liquid of governance at 0.7 percent salt for protection during refrigerated storage.
Professional uses
Five core applications for the kitchen brigade: caprese antipasto with 5 ovoline per portion alternated with cherry tomatoes, basil and EVO oil; mozzarella di bufala con prosciutto di Parma at 4 ovoline per portion drizzled with Modena IGP balsamic; gourmet pizza margherita STG with 8 ovoline per pizza added at the last 60 seconds of baking; sfizio di bufala fritta breaded and pan-fried at 150 degrees Celsius for crispy starter; cold salad with rocket, pear and walnut at 4 ovoline per portion. Always serve at room temperature for full aroma release.
Common mistakes to avoid
Three errors at chef level: serving directly from the fridge at 4 degrees Celsius, which compresses the fresh aroma; baking the mozzarella too long which leaches the water and creates a dry stringy result; discarding the liquid of governance before service, which oxidises the surface and reduces shelf life. Always rest the unopened tub at room temperature 30 minutes before serving and keep mozzarella in its liquid until plating.
Storage and packaging
Store the closed tub in the refrigerator at +2 to +7 degrees Celsius keeping the cheese fully submerged in its liquid of governance; shelf life typically 18 to 21 days from packaging. Once opened, keep refrigerated in the liquid and consume within 48 hours. Recyclable PP tub with food-grade lid, case of 12 tubs (3 kg net total) for HoReCa stock rotation.
