Buffalo mozzarella is a delicate but flavorful fresh cheese with a stringy or fibrous consistency -- indeed it's the aristocratic European cousin of America's beloved "string cheese".
In contrast to its dry and somewhat tough American counterpart, mozzarella di bufala is so moist that when it's cut, milky drops of enzymes appear on the surface, releasing a sweetish aroma. Apart from the perhaps more familiar large and small ball shape, the cheese is also made into braids and bite-sized bits called "bocconcini".

Made entirely of whole buffalo milk, it is sometimes available smoked, but only using the most natural and traditional methods. It's much appreciated for its nutritional value and its content of calcium, protein, vitamins and mineral salts make it a good treat for the whole family.
Campania is the Italian region in which mozzarella production is concentrated, so its no surprise that it has become one of the starring ingredients of another local specialty: pizza!
