buffalo mozzarella
Soft white cheese
Buffalo mozzarella is a soft, white Italian cheese made from the milk of water buffalo rather than cows.
It has a tangier flavor and creamier texture than regular mozzarella, prized for caprese salads and pizza.
The authentic version, *mozzarella di bufala*, comes from the Campania region: We ordered the burrata, but I prefer buffalo mozzarella.
