What Mozzarella di Bufala Campana PDO is
Mozzarella di Bufala Campana is a fresh pasta-filata cheese made exclusively from buffalo milk. Since 1996 it has been protected as a Protected Designation of Origin at European level; the Consortium for Protection that oversees its production and trade was established in 1981. The PDO territory covers the entire provinces of Caserta and Salerno, part of the provinces of Naples and Benevento in Campania, part of the provinces of Latina, Frosinone and Rome in Lazio, part of the province of Foggia in Puglia, and the municipality of Venafro in Molise.
The producer: Caseificio Giffoniello
Caseificio Giffoniello has processed cow and buffalo milk since 1985, with its production plant in Battipaglia, in the province of Salerno, at the heart of the PDO zone. The company follows a daily selection of milk from local farmers under strict quality and sustainability protocols, and holds IFS Food and BRCGS Food Safety certifications.
The Ciuffo format
The Ciuffo format takes its name from the characteristic knot left on top of the mozzarella during hand-stretching. This pack of 2 pieces of 125 g (250 g net drained weight) is designed for single portions at the table or for professional kitchen use, keeping the same soft body and brine as traditional mozzarella.
Sensory profile
White, smooth and slightly elastic body, with a light lactic acidity and a fresh milky aroma. When cut, it releases the typical white whey, a sign of a fresh mozzarella made according to tradition.
Professional uses
Ideal raw in a caprese salad with tomato and basil, added to contemporary pizza after baking to preserve its creaminess, in antipasti and platters, or as a filling for summer salads. Serve at room temperature, never fridge-cold, to bring out its aroma and texture.
