Mozzarella di Bufala “Sori” is made with 100% whole Buffalo milk, from one or sometimes two daily milkings. The Buffalo cows roam freely in the local pastures, and even when in the stalls they are allowed to move freely to a limited extent. They are fed exclusively on the prairie grasses, corn, and carefully selected hay, bran and straw.
The name of mozzarella comes from “mozzatura” – which (in dialect) is the name given to the actual product which has been made manually: – this manual operation is called “mozzando” la pasta (which refers to working / molding the paste).
Buffalo Cows first arrived in Italy – Sicily, during the seventh century. It was around the year 1000 that the Norman Kings who were ruling the Kingdom of the two Sicilies expanded the raising of the buffalo to the rest of Southern Italy. However the first historical data regarding any product made from buffalo milk comes to us only around the 12th century. It was really during the 17th century that Mozzarella di Bufala became very popular and was much sought after throughout all of Southern Italy.
