'Cilento' pasteurized buffalo milk cheese without lactose MOZZARELLA DI BUFALA CAMPANA DOP is a round, white, soft cheese ball. It has a light dairy, slightly sweet taste and is an Italian cheese made using the pasta filata method. It is most commonly used for making pizzas, pasta dishes, and salads, especially Caprese, but can be used broadly, for example, added to sandwiches, arancini, preparing cheese sticks, and other dishes. Fat content is 52%. This cheese is made from buffalo milk with a protected designation of origin. Buffalo roam freely, providing tasty and quality milk, which has a thicker texture than milk from other animals and is excellent for dairy production. It has the DOP (Denominazione d'Origine Protetta / Protected Designation of Origin) label, granted only to such products whose quality and characteristics are exclusively dependent on their place of origin, and the name includes a geographical indicator. All stages of product production (from raw material production to processing) must take place in that area. This cheese is produced in Campania, Lazio, Apulia, and Molise. Buffalo milk mozzarella is made from Italian Mediterranean buffalo milk. In containers where mozzarella was previously made and where there are residual thermophilic bacteria, starter lactic acid bacterial cultures are added. Then, rennet (E1100) is added. When curds form, they are cut into pieces. It is then heated to separate the whey from the curd. Once the whey drains, the curd is transferred to a special container, where a homogeneous mass forms. Then the pasta filata process is carried out, where the cheesemaker kneads the cheese like bread until a soft, shiny mass forms. From this, he breaks off a piece and forms mozzarella.
