Buffalo cheese is cheese made from buffalo milk. Because buffalo milk contains more fat and protein than cow milk, cheeses made from it tend to be creamy, rich and flavourful, with the characteristically white colour that comes from buffalo milk’s lack of carotene. The most famous example is mozzarella di bufala from Italy, but buffalo-milk cheeses are also made across South Asia and the Balkans in fresh, brined and aged styles. Their high solids content gives excellent cheese yields, making buffalo milk a prized raw material for cheesemakers.
